Train to Chicago

Last week, my wife and I went to Chicago. We took Amtrak's Capitol Limited. It took 18 hours, but very nice. We spent a day there. We absolutely loved the city. The train back was a bit annoying due to the delays caused by power outage.

• + Ladies do know how to dress nicely here!
• + Nice windy weather
• + Train through WV is simply superb

• - A non-stop non-sense teenage British girl who kept arguing about anything and everything for 9 hours in the return train; with an American guy.
