I have been giving some thought to taking a trip from Saint Paul MN to Chicago IL via Amtrak. At first glance it seems to be:
-A less expensive travel option, in some cases, and
-You spend much more time in transit.
For those here that have done a several hour train trip, what was you experience like? Are the meals okay? I am assuming that they all have free wifi, but that really doesn't matter to me because I have an MVNO on Verizon and an AT&T hotspot with unlimited data.
And, I might take a GPS along and/or watch our progress on a smartphone map.
If I bring my scanner, I would use headphones, so I wouldn't bother the other passengers.
