I have been planning a trip that uses Amtrak. Outbound from Chicago, 18 hours on the train, including all night.
On the return to home, train scheduled to leave the station at 6:33am, so should get to the station by 5:30am and since I will need to put my panniers into a single checkable sized bag, probably should get to the station earlier than that to repack my luggage. Ugggghhhhhhh.
Plus a multi-hour bus ride to Chicago to start it off and returning home on the bus later.
This will be my first time doing the Trainside Carry On bike option, thus do not need to box it. I will finally find out how that system works.
