9. You are reminded of the "Pants on the Ground" song several times by a big guy wearing tattered gray boxer-briefs.
8. Beautiful vistas of rainbow colored port-a-johns during a 7-hour delay.
7. Shady passenger sitting in the aisle across from you (wearing a pin-striped suit) phones his friends and asks where they were, what they were doing, what they had to drink, and what they had available to smoke.
6. The said passenger hands you a brown paper bag and tells you to check it out. Upon opening the bag, you see a large amount of hard liquor. He then offers you a bottle on him (free drinks).
5. You can shop without leaving your seat as an on-board passenger looks to unload knock-off Coach and Gucci purses.
4. Free cigarette-rolling demonstrations on the hour by the college students across the aisle (Tobacco? Questionable.).
3. You are informed of the "good news" that your 2 microwaved White Castle burgers, 2 chips, and 2 sodas cost only $20.
2. Only one Amtrak employee is able to do the job of 5!
Arrive at Union Station only to find out we only have one person manning 10 cars and he had to clear off one step at a time on each car before we could get off. Someone please tell me why someone in the station couldn't help the poor guy shovel steps. Or, wait, that was probably not a part of their union contract.
1. Why take a 4-hour car trip when you can take a 12-hour train ride?

We've considered taking Amtrak to Chicago... but based on this I think we'll stick to our driving routine. On a side note.. This was better than any Letterman Top 10 in the past decade!!
