East Riverfront may shorten my total travel time to/from St. Louis a bit, when I'm just trying to get to a game and avoid downtown parking. But, if I'm going to pay, then I'd rather get a little more of a ride. Often, there's a real live person to sell you a ticket. Otherwise, it's easy to use one of the automated ticket dispensers, $2.25 one way.

It was clean, moderately efficient and no one bothered us. I say moderate because the Blue Line was down for maintenance and this put a sort of kink in our plans to get to St. Louis. Prices were the same as those others: $4.50 for a round trip ticket...although every time I use the metro, no one ever checks to see if I validated my ticket or even purchased one.

July 1, 2017 DuQuion…read moreto Chicago Union station. The DuQuion station is a small, unmanned, air conditioned depot in the middle of downtown DuQuion. Free, easy parking. There is no ticket station, so buy your ticket in advance. Not sure if you can purchase your ticket on the train. The conductors were not all that friendly and very little information was given during the, what ended up being a little over 6 hour ride. They don't check your baggage, but they did help me get my bag onboard. We had several delays due to freight trains, causing us to be over an hour late. The seats were comfortable and there's electrical outlets at every seat section. Overhead storage. My bag was placed in the car in front of me, so every time we stopped I was worried someone would just walk off the train with my bag. Needless to say, I got up and checked at each stop. The ride was really bumpy. Something I've not experienced inn previous train rides. The train really bounced a lot back and forth. My back was wrecked by the end of the trip. So no train ride is complete without checking out the dining car. I had to ask another passenger which way it was, as there was no information I could find onboard. Once I got to the dining car the cashier was less than friendly. I asked if I could order a hot dog ala carte and she said yes, then looked and said they were out of hot dogs. Sigh So I said let me think. She never smiled. She counted money while another person waited. She just said, what do you want? I'm like, I'll just wait.. thanks and walked away. Stopped at bathroom, and it was a mess. Urine all over the seat, toilet paper is practically on the floor, it's so low and the seat was angled in a way that just made it awkward to use the toilet. Finally at our arrival, an hour and 15 minutes late, I then realized my bag was in the other car and being the last stop, everyone was getting off. Ugh, I should have moved to the other car. I literally had to wait for every person to get off the train before i could get to the other car to get my bag. Only friendly gesture of the night was the young conductor taking my bag off the train and offering his hand to me while exciting the train. A long walk to get out of the terminal... I made it!
