Heading North on NER No. 86

[DP]

Last time I was on a train was on VIA Rail from Windsor to Toronto and back. Not even in America. But they are upgrading the line from Detroit to Chicago and we talk about going on the train next trip to Chicago. I may have to pack heat when we go:

Police say a man accused of stabbing an Amtrak conductor and three train passengers in southwestern Michigan has been charged with four counts of attempted murder.
