Do they allow ice chest? And did they run out of whiskey too?

I use to take the train often when I lived in the NE. Best part about it is: you can use phone they whole time and they have charging outlets everywhere.

I've wanted to take that trip for a long time. I was always thinking I'd do it for a random Hum show in Chicago.

Wanna bet that you'll be woken up very early tomorrow morning with an announcement that you've arrived in Kankakee, IL
