I mean, the good news is that you basically already can
Quick check says amtrak from NYP to LAX is 67.5 hours long. Or about 2.79 days
Which is a lot more than a six hour flight. But... that is six hours plus an hour or so on each side (at least) AND is a direct flight, so "one day" is how I would classify that. You aren't doing much in a day when you fly from NY to LA.
Which... is the 3-4x as long that you were asking for.
But hey. Maybe you are cool with spending the vast majority of a week long holiday in a train. I doubt your employers are fine with you spending three days to go to a conference on the west coast and another three days to come back.
