A one way trip from Minneapolis to Boston costs approx. 380$... Unless I want a small sleeping cabin about the size of my linen closet. That’s an additional 650$ for only one short leg of the trip. The trip, of course, is a mere *28* hours long with hours-long stopovers in Chicago and New York. How far would 1000$ get me on an airplane? A hell of a lot farther than Boston, that’s for sure.

Why on Earth would anyone use Amtrak for anything other than a creative way to blow time and money?
