I recently came into possession of some old timetables. The earliest of the group is a Lackawanna from 1933. While that railroad didn't have coast to coast trains, you could buy a coast to coast ticket that would be used on multiply railroads to get you there.
Here are some interesting sleeper costs from 1933.
Not that from Hoboken (New York City essentially) to Chicago you could ride in a lower for $9.00 on top of the coach fare. This table doesn't show the coach fares, but they can't be that much in 1933.
Check out the coast to coast fares for sleepers.
