Apparently 110 mph trains are now running between STL and Chicago. Anybody taken this route recently? I wonder if there are plans to give the same treatment to the STL-KC route?

    Relatives of mine did recently, flew into Chicago and then took the train down. They said it was a great experience. Around a 3+ hour ride. They were just in coach I believe but said that it’s not a big deal since you can actually get up and walk around, go to the dining car, etc., unlike a majority of the time you’d spend on a plane.

    Been waiting for more high speed rail options for a long time, it’s good this one’s available. What I wouldn’t give for a hyperloop between here and Denver or something like that. To never have to drive all the way through Kansas again would be fantastic.
