#KC2CHI by Train

Amtrak just set new records for ridership in March of 2013.

@JewforKC rode the train 2 days after Christmas for the 1st time in his adult life.

It was an 8 hour trip from KCY2CHI.

Was this the trip that sent momentum for the record breaking month?

Below are my tweets from the trip:

In between some of those tweets, followers began to chime in. It was an excellent day that ended up being a really chill night with some good friends of mine in Chicago. 

I wish Kansas City had more rail.  I would take it to Denver.  I would take it to Omaha.  I would take it to Dallas or Austin or Minneapolis. 

I can take the train to St.Louis and I'm headed there soon.

I will def try and do a post on my thoughts of #KC in state city rival.

Until next time #Jewfromovement ...
