Put me in for the blue line. I might be able to swing this ^_^ I do this for PAXTrain West.

Scored a second buddy to go with me, so make that a tentative two associates of mine pretty please.

Speaking as someone who has never ridden a train before...how the hell do you sync up and get the right trains?

Check the OP for the train you're supposed to be on, at the end of your line, check which train is at the beginning of the next line and take that one. In your case it's the 22 Texas Eagle, which leaves San Antonio at 7am CDT on March 23 (check the spoiler in the op for the station closest to you). You'll take that until it terminates in Chicago on March 24 around 2pm CDT. Unfortunately, yours is one of the longer layovers (7 hours). You will then board the 448 Lake Shore Limited, which departs at 9pm CDT. Then it's off to the Boston Back Bay stop arriving March 25 at about 9pm and PAX PAX PAX.

There may be a long layover there, but it's for the better to plan for layovers as trains can easily be delayed, especially if you're going over mountains. The only reason I'm personally debating this trip is because I want to get to Boston earlier then Thursday night. But we'll see.

I really wish I could have gotten it in earlier, but this was the only way to do it for the most amount of people.

I'll be in Jonny's boat too, my layover is 9 hours (last I checked) after going from Port Huron to Chicago. Oh well, the result is the same: PAX PAX PAX!

So we're all getting on this train together. Any ideas what to do for three days? I mean besides get to much experience with our DS's

Play whatever you bring. I haven't been on the other train trips, but I know popular choices are card games, board games, twister, rock band, anything someone brought that they can convince others to play.
