[QUOTE]Originally posted by rresor: [QB] I'm not a football fan, possibly because of my choice of colleges. The University of Chicago. although a charter member of the Big 10, no longer has a "serious" football team. I did my graduate work for a Master of Science in Transportation at Northwestern, across town in Evanston. They are of course a current Big 10 member, but I never went to a game. As for trains, growing up in Westchester County, NY I made innumerable trips to "the City" on the Harlem Division commuter trains, one memorable trip to upstate NY via the St. Lawrence Division as a very young child, many trips to Delray Beach, FL on both ACL and SAL (and later SCL and Amtrak), a few round trips to Atlanta on the Crescent (pre-Amtrak), and enough trips up and down the NEC to points in New Jersey, PHL, and WAS to probably get me to Mars with the mileage. I also went back and forth from NY (and later WAS) to Chicago a number of times (but also flew and drove during the five years I was there). I managed to ride Metra's entire suburban network, plus South Shore, plus the whole CTA, during that time. I only count "new" miles (i.e., the first time I ride a line) and those stand at about 66,000 on the North American network -- Amtrak's entire route system, VIA's entire route system, and a lot else besides. Total miles is probably on the order of 250,000, as I continue to commute weekly between my current home in PHL and WAS, where I work for the Feds. Amtrak Guest Rewards Select is just around the corner! [/QB][/QUOTE]
