I would ptrefer to see the real scenery outside the train windows, after all, that is part of the reason for travelling. I do find TV screens attract the attention to themselves.On the other hand, what if they showed documentaries on the area you were traveling through?
Then, again, Amtrak could have local wifi (unconnected to the internet) that provided the same information directly to your phone anywhere in the country...
I can see the value of some sort of headphone audio recording, or via a phone headphone describing the local scenery, as per the Rails and Trails type thing. (I find the R&T folks a bit irritating at times, even though their efforts are well intentioned).
