Took the train home to Chicago many times while at MU. Time of my life, met many interesting people in the bar car. it is a nice, stress free way to travel the 90 miles. Shows some smarts

Marquette's basketball coaches on the el?  We'd have to start scheduling home and aways with Grambling and NJIT once that happened!

Would be a great recruiting spot once you started going south or west.

My God, we have more train foamers on this board than I ever imagined.

A foamer is someone who foams at the mouth at the sight of a train.

A couple thoughts on Amtrak -- candidly, it's horrible. Some people try, most are going through the motions. It only works between Chicago and Milwaukee because the Kennedy and Edens Expressways are a disaster.

For the poster who suggested an Amtrak between LA and SF, well, not if you value your time. It takes about 52 minutes to fly that route and maybe an hour each on either end. The Amtrak is more than eight hours and if it is on time, God just showed up for final judgment. On time and Amtrak is a nonsequitur.

Glad to see Coach Wojo in Chicago and we flatlanders are just as happy the cheeseheads stay north. Keeps our corrupt state, well, slimey. Take your good government and keep it where the trees grow in rows!

Well, that seems to be the major point of the thread.
