Come to Chicago, take the Red, Purple, or Brown lines to Belmont. Wait for what you are looking for and there you go.

It dead ends in Albany Park. My condolences, the CTA does not offer any service to any metropolitan area from Chicago.

I think we might be able to guess something about the person in charge of Amtrak's tumblr page...

And that's how I was born. Well, it was a pickup, but the principle is the same.

That one particularly steamy car scene from Titanic says otherwise. 😏

But they were also on a boat... Hmmmm. This gives me an idea about the auto train.

There was a not great charlie sheen movie in the 90s called the chase where he has sex in a car while being chased by police.

It's like one those corporate carriages at pride marches; the pride part is super wholesome, the corporate part is a bit strange. Well, riding (in) trains is endorsable - but passenger transport could also be public.

Also, steamy and trains...

I'd wink their carriage anyways.

They just need to run carriages with private compartments rather than airline-style seating. Problem solved.

They already have those. They are offering steamy lesbian sex with a lonely butch; not a open show. 🤦‍♀️

A single ticket for a train from Austin to Chicago is like $150 and takes a full day. The same plane ticket can be regularly bought for the same price and gets there in about 6 hours.

I find it's highly dependent on the route. I can get from my hometown (Madison, WI) to Detroit by plane for a little over $600. Amtrak stops at a small town a little north of Madison (about a 20min drive for me), and can get me to Detroit for $150. Even a private room is a bit cheaper than a plane.

Train does take 16 hours, but it's 16 relatively pleasant hours where I can stretch out without being cramped. It would also be significantly faster if we invested in rail properly. Hell, maybe not even high speed rail; that route could probably be a lot faster if we just made Amtrak suck less.

Someone just made a tumbler account and added -official to a random brand name . Yeah sounds legit
