Don says he's amazed that I got it back together. When the train finally arrived, we were told that there was standing room only. The train personnel didn't know there was a big group getting on, so they weren't prepared. We managed to find seats, though. There was only one functioning bathroom for the whole train.
Train travel is much more comfortable than flying, per unit time.
The seats are very nice, much better than coach airplane seats, and we can explore the whole train and the lounge car. We didn't have a whole lot of time to play around in Chicago. The management let us store our packs in a locked lounge while we explored the downtown. We hiked up Wacker Dr. I don't understand why anyone would want to live in a big city.
