So I booked a circuitous trip from CHI to CHI. Due to the 3 day week schedule and the connect from theTE to CZ is not a guaranteed connx i will be fly to and from LIT. On 1/2/21 i will depart on CZ to SAC then board the CS to PDX w a very short layover, but a guaranteed connx to the EB back to Chicago. I feel fortunate to be able to go on this trip, my snow trip if you will. I love seeing tons of snowy scenery from my comfy warm cabin. I am worried about delays on the west coast especially up north in the Cascades(?) A bus would bust my bubble as I have taken the trip from EUG to SPK on the bus. I am hoping to start the New Year off right by taking some of my favorite trains! I just wish I had the time to throw the Card and CL into the mix. I walked around the barn to ask this question, does anyone know if these stations are safe from the madness going on right now. What is the best way to get from ORD to Union Station, I know there's a subway(?) that goes between but I think you have to drag your bags up and down stairs? and not sure about the safety of that route. Should I stay at airport or downtown hotel
