we lucked out here, in a way...as amtrak has 3 trains that stop in princeton. the calif. zephyr, the southwest cheif and the IL zephyr. it's a 10 minute drive from my house to the depot in princeton and an hour and a half ride to chicago for what it costs to PARK in a garage in chi-town for a day. also, my mom lives in arizona, about an hour and 15 from the depot in winslow. a 26 hour ride on the s.w cheif and i'm there. the drive there from here can be done in around the same time for about the same cost, but the train you just get on, sit down and sleep....the only issue is how punctual amtrak feels like being on any given day... the last trip we made, my brother rode to arizona and the train was 2 1/2 hours late out of chicago. somehow it GAINED back all the time on the way out there. how that happened, i don't know. i didn't think that could be done anymore...
