Detraining at CUS
Following a quick, overnight trip to Kalamazoo, our train came to a stop within Chicago Union Station's south concourse. On this trip, we rode behind Charger no. 4622 in each direction, first in Horizon coach no. 54539, and then on 54554 on the way back west.
This was my first trip on Amtrak's Michigan service, and it was impressive! While on Amtrak-owned track east of Porter, IN, we were cruising along at 110 mph, which was easily the fastest that I've ever ridden. So long as NS doesn't hose you while on their track, it's a great way to travel from Chicago-southern Michigan.
