    For sure. The ONLY way I ever go to Chicago again is by car. In that case, I will NOT be saying longer than one day. The only reason I ever see myself reentering Chicago is a day trip to a museum or a connecting flight through the airport.

    Even that can go wrong. :):
    Well in my case anyway.

    I have taken the train in good weather numerous times without any major issue. The advantage of the train is its price and the parking savings.

    I have ridden a train through the jungles of Thailand and Malaysia during torrential rains without any problems. I have taken trains though bustling Bangkok with its 12,000,000 residents without a delay. I have shared a train car across Thailand with farm animals, immigrant workers, and a cargo of rice and still arrived on time. I've crossed international borders in third world countries via train quickly. I have gone 268 MPH on a commuter train in Shanghai without dying. I rode a train between Beijing and Shanghai at 168 MPH while receiving impeccable service. I have taken an old train throughout China's northern industrial belt that I felt was safe and prompt. I rode a train in Thailand that was so old it had wooden seats and arrived on time.

    But somehow, Amtrak cannot operate service between Indianapolis and Chicago effectively. On this one trip our train ran over two elderly people, broke down three times, lost power once, lost heat once, had to have a new crew driven in, had a fight between passengers, and had every single toilet freeze.

    'MERICA!

    I took the train between Chicago and Indy twice and had a lovely journey both times.It was cheap too. :)
    Trains are way more expensive in Europe.
