Answer 1 :
Bus is much less expensive but is also much less comfortable. Both would take about the same amount of time 3 days by train and 4 by bus. A rental car would be cheaper than train, and a little more than bus. But that involves spending the night somewhere. As for buses you sleep on the bus and hope like heck the bus driver doesn't get sleepy as well. I know one did on me, I will never ride a bus again. The train on the other hand is on rails so no worries going in the ditch. The trains are also monitored very closely. After you cross the Mississippi River it may be possible to get a sleeper, that way you would have your own little room with a bed. The bus you also have to worry about food, stock upi on stops that have high prices and little to offer. The train has a dining car.
Answer 2 :
Take Amtrak from DC to Chicago Change to the Southwest Chief to Albuquerque
