[Coco] OT: Train to Chicago

[Aaron Banerjee]

Yup, that's Amtrak allright.  Unfortunately, Amtrak in general doesn't own
the track they operate on, so any time some freight train comes along,
they have to pull over.  Even though it might not be their fault that they
are perpetually late, it's still pretty annoying.

Banerjee's law of Amtrak:
   If 6 hours is important to you, don't take Amtrak.

I must say that taking the auto-train from Washington to Orlando was kind
of cool, though...
