Easiest is to buy one day paper passes as needed. There’s no additional charge and there’s also no savings in buying a 3 day pass which is $15. The day pass on CTA is a true 24 hour pass and you choose when to start your 24 hour clock.

Considering the intense pressure from inpatient drivers these days… to power through a stale yellow or even a stale green with a clogged intersection… I feel like drivers have gotten worse. If there are train tracks there should be increased caution on the part of drivers certainly not less.

A second trip in 2023, hope you go for it!

As far as pricing I have seen the Cap priced higher than the LSL fairly consistently for years.

Gosh I love your trip report writings, had me on the edge of seat! What adventures! Also love the scanner dialogue. What does it mean when they say “highball it”?

Many of these YT channels feature amazing content and good quality. Started off watching Miles, some fun stuff but have not kept up. I’m in the wrong age group to really appreciate his humor and editing style. New discovery,

Lotta work going on in Michigan but I’m fairly ignorant of what’s being done. The Wolverines are going to operate on a reduced schedule not sure when that starts.

It’s great to post positive feedback. People should definitely do that more often. I will note however that filthy conditions are a nonstarter and should not be overlooked.

I remember. Equally tragic, equally should be a Never event.

And by reasonable we’re talking $120-150. That’s summer. Fall will be lower yet.

At the moment? The Holiday Inn right by there has attractive rates for summer. Thinking of trying them out. Less than Crowne Plaza which is also close.

Can you enter email for each? Using the app, I booked a ticket for 2 seniors recently, took my email out, added one of the others. The system processed the tickets with the correct discount. But I didn’t have the issue of needing to receive the emails which might’ve complicated it.

We did indeed have a great time. The youngens have both grown up to be dedicated fans of public transportation. Couple other notes on the newer Midwest cars, as noted elsewhere the outlets are between the seats, which is convenient, sadly however the cheap plastic parts are nowhere near as...

Fun report to read! I admire that you include so many pictures and links. One question, so are these Venture cars, the same as the new Midwest cars? Because I'm definitely not a fan. 5 hours on those stiff boards was not comfortable and it had nothing to do with a person's size, or even lack...

Got our flight to Chicago with no issue. We stayed there for a "buffer" night and had plenty of time to walk around downtown. The next day we had tickets on the Wolverine back to Michigan. This was a very interesting ride, I had previously experienced the rehabbed coaches with leather seats...

3 days, 2 nights in DC: We had a very successful trip. It's been so many years since I've spent any significant time in the area. All I can say is plan, plan, plan, and then plan some more, in advance, for however long you intend to be there. Maybe it's easier for people who are not mired in...

My old friend, Train 30, proceeded through the Ohio landscape in the splendid darkness that you can only enjoy in a train. Every light that's on shows a house, a station, a town, a warehouse, and it all looks so much more artistic from a train window. I tried to convince daughter to stay up...

This is the fix. The loud bang is actually from the right side, not the side that opens on the left for the trash. Simply take a Kleenex or two from the supplied box, and close the cabinet on the tissues. The banging is silenced for the whole trip.

We had a variety of train excursions in May, spread out among several states and family members. All in all, it was a good overall combined episode of travel. I'll try to recount our trips here and cover the highlights and lowlights with hopefully not too much detail! It was a sunny, clear and...

Awesome. And GoTriangle is still free of charge through 2023. There is an easy close connection at Durham and the bus stop is co-located at Cary. No car required!
