Chicago to Ann Arbor. 4.5 hour trip. Took just over 5 hours. Her trip to Chicago on Thursday took about 6 hours. bout average for that train. She or I have ridden the Wolverine one way or the other about 50 times in the last 10 years and it has been within 5 minutes of being on time. Once. Worst was the Christmas weekend it left us stranded in Chicago for 3 extra days.

I love the sound of a train whistle late at night (when the wind's just right, we can hear one about once in a blue moon from somewhere, I have no idea where, since all the train tracks around here have been turned into bike trails - maybe it's a ghost train). Also, freight trains are extremely cost-efficient, especially in the stretched-out western states. Passenger trains are also great... for places like Europe and Asia, where the people-to-available ground ratio is thickteen. <br /><br />However, I never plan to do any of my serious traveling in America by train, and see no reason why my tax dollars should go to subsidize others' travel plans.RebeccaHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15113907852048577121noreply@blogger.com
