Travel by Train to Chicago"},"content":{"rendered":"

As lifelong Hoosiers, one of our favorite road trip destinations is, of course, Chicago. We’ve made the 3 1\/2 hour drive to\/from the big city many times, but the most interesting way to get there is to travel by train to Chicago! There are several great train routes that take you from the Midwest straight to Chicago.\"Must-read<\/p>\n

We’ve traveled by train to Chicago from three different\u00a0stations. While I’ll share some information that’s specific to these\u00a0Midwest stations in this post, non-local readers should consider a Chicago train trip as well. We’re quite fond of train travel, and we’ve actually taken trips from Minneapolis and Spokane to Chicago by train too!\u00a0Chicago is a major hub for train travel. For train travel tips that aren’t specific to the Midwest, check out this post.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The Effingham (Illinois) station is a popular option, but be aware that it’s small and unmanned. There are a few indoor benches to sit on and a bathroom. Unlike airplane travel, there are no metal detectors or security screenings at the smaller train stations.<\/p>\n

For local readers, Effingham is\u00a0just over an hour from Terre Haute.<\/p>\n
