I'm a student so the usual Amtrak rate for me is $49, but ONLY if I book several weeks in advance, and usually ONLY if I'm willing to take a train first thing in the morning (i.e 5am) or late at night (11pm or later). I hate the bus too, since it can take as much as 3 hours longer each way.

Last year, when I was just as strapped for time as I am for cash, I ended up flying round trip to DC because it was less than the train by $40! That is insane--it clearly indicates all that is wrong with our transportation system.

I don't know the NE Regional is so much more expensive than the trains on the West Coast.
