Trains are not just for commuting to work. They are also for coming home from partying Saturday night.
Last week Amtrak announced it would run a train leaving Chicago for Milwaukee at 11:10 pm on weekends. A test for the coming holidays, but it could become permanent.
So I'm reading my 1915 book this summer and am feeling jealous when a character takes a train just before midnight to go home. I sure wish I could do that. Now if you live in Chicago or Milwaukee, you can.
Just to be clear: there's no DUI on trains.
The night train, it's just another move forward in trains replacing cars.
