WOAH! You can travel across the US in just over three days by train for only $293. The following route is through Amtrak and takes you from Emeryville, California (near San Francisco) to New York City or vice versa. Along the way, you'll pass through the Rockies and desert landscape.

Please note that the following options carry one transfer that takes place in Chicago Union Station. However, it's around a 3-hour transfer which gives you a bit of time to explore Chicago and stretch your legs for the remaining half of your journey.
