Somewhere between two and a half and three days. The shortest trip from departure to arrival is probably the Lake Shore Limited from New York to Chicago, followed by the Southwest Chief from Chicago to LA. On that trip you'd leave New York at 3:45 PM and arrive in LA at 8:15 AM three days later (with a layover of five hours and 15 minutes in Chicago).
