Sometimes Plans Change
This Amtrak in the foreground represents leg 2 (of 4!) of my goofiest trip via Amtrak in a good, long while.
I was supposed to take Amtrak 4 from KC-Naperville, buuuuut it was running late, so I rescheduled for the River Runner via StL. From there, I continued north to the spartan Summit (seen here), IL station, Ubered to Berwyn, then hopped on Metra train 2029 back to my original destination.
Just shy of 12 hours after leaving KCUS I arrived at my car, and of course, I ended up passing said train no. 4 along the Racetrack anyway, so it was all for naught, but was it? I wasn't interested in testing out the mantra of "Late trains get later," and I got a fun trip out of the deal.
