Besides, I just spent the past 21-1/2 hours on board Amtrak's Capital Limited.
I've had enough of full-scale trains for a while.
Slightly more interesting if people know it's scheduled for 16 hours 40 minutes
from Washington to Chicago.
Remember back when the 20th Century Limited would do NYC <-> Chicago
in 15 hours... And that's longer than Wash <-> Chicago
hmm... 958 miles [a] vs 764 [b]
