Although I had my doubts, it turns out that on the train you CAN get up and walk around.

And they have big seats.

And food at a reasonable price (compared to airlines).

AND POWER OUTLETS!

And it costs $43 round trip from Chicago to Kalamazoo, which is approximately $300 less than flying, and about 40$ less than driving.

Right! And my friends who have tried to take the train from Mpls to Chicago or Detroit have generally been disappointed in both speed and reliability. Canada is a disaster now with the border crossing, too, I hear.

But yesterday was good.

I might regard it as more accurate to state that we've been disappointed because too often our train ride turns into a bus ride. To be fair, one of the times the train ride turned into a bus ride was because the floods in southern Minnesota washed out the tracks.
