With two huge bags and a briefcase?

High speed rail is where we should be putting tons of dough.

May have a point there. But would you cab it from Union then?

Daley's express el from Block 37 to O'Hare seems a whole lot cheaper and at least logistically a better option.

Plus if it's a Sunday, you have a 2 hr wait at J Park between trains. The important part of this to me isn't the Loop-ORD piece, but being able to get on a train in the city and end up in St Louis 3 hrs later with one train change and no airplanes

Bingo. Hopefully Quinn can do this, he got extra money from Wisconsin's Gov. Walker turning it down.

OMG Now you're a St.Louis = CHI commuter? How many flights per day fly that route? Passengers?

I'd wager Bob has gone from O'Hare to downtown to St. Louis NEVER (unless Scav was driving) and for you to think it's a good idea is a PG1985.

I may be wrong, even stupid as Riot calls it but I can't imagine enough passengers travel that route per day to make it worthwhile.
