Obviously, I have sort of made up my mind on where my next "days off" trip will take me too. There's a really good sale on going up to CHI on #58 and back on #59. I will be buying my ticket within the next day or so, and it looks like I have convinced my friend Drew to tag along (this would be his first-ever long-haul train ride).
I've been to Chicago twice but only for Cubs games. I never really spent anytime in the downtown area. Of course, the Sears Tower is a must, depending on the weather. It's just a one day trip, as we arrive at 9:00am and leave at 8:00pm. Is there a good city tour worth catching or something? Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks and happy railroading
PS- I haven't yet given up on my goal to work for Amtrak. I just applied for four more Assistant Conductor positions throughout the country. Hopefully I can get another interview. I'll keep you guys posted.
