I was thinking the same thing. I would be ok with a passenger rail to Milwaukee, then to Chicago.

Based on the name of the train, I thought that this was going to be a train that would take you to see the Northern Lights in comfort. Kinda bummed now, NGL.

What equipment are they using? If it's going to be using the Hiawatha Siemens venture trains it's going to be a very uncomfortable trip.
