I have made 4 or 5 trips Chi-DC and back in the past view years. You get SuperLiners and a Sightseer lounge. Pretty good ride. At this time of the year, it will probably be dark by the time you get on, but as you know, everything between Hammond or South Bend and Cleveland looks a lot like Valpo. If you are on time it should start to get light out of Pittsburgh, so you should have daylight for the ride over the Alleghenys and Sand Patch. The eastern half of the ride is definitely more scenic so plan to rise and shine, and hit the lounge at daybreak.
