[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ocala Mike: [QB] Gil's posting of pre-A day rail trips reminds me of one I took over his own Milwaukee Road back in October, 1968 when my digs were in Cedar Rapids, IA. It was possible and convenient then to take a day trip into Chicago on the "City of Everywhere", leaving Marion, IA (Cedar Rapids) around 7:00 am and getting into Chicago (227 miles later) around 11:00 am. Return leaving Chicago around 6:45 pm and arriving Marion 10:25 pm. Can't say that I availed myself of the dining car experience, but a nice trip nevertheless. I think I spent the day at either Sportsman's Park or Hawthorne Racetrack playing the ponies (there was no racing in Iowa back then, lots of gambling there now). [/QB][/QUOTE]
