Train Day Three Chicago

06:45 CST. Iowa.

Train is on schedule. I slept all the way through Nebraska. 

09:18 CST. Still Iowa. But out of the snow.

Five hours to Chicago. Then five hours in Chicago. Then on the Capitol Limited and on to DC. 

10:46 CST Illinois? Thinking we just crossed the Mississippi so this must be Illinois.

13:35 CST. will be in Chicago at about 14:00. Next train doesn’t leave until 18:40. I have discovered an Ice Cream Museum and a Medieval Torture Museum as possible time killers. Or I could just slump in a chair for four hours. 

14:28 CST. Chicago.
15:45 CST. Chicago.

Went exploring. When you stumble upon a restaurant like this in a big city you have to stop for a bite. It was excellent. 

Wandered around for about an hour. It was windy and chilly so I made my way back to the station. Three hours to train time. Tonight’s train is also sold out. 

This is it for the train trip report. Nothing ever happens on the Capitol Limited.
