Ok, but $40 for 7 hours? You can get a 1-hour flight for $129

i remember talk as far back as the 1980s about high-speed rail between the cities and chicago.

It's particularly embarrassing because the Chicago & Northwestern began Twin Cities to Chicago train service in 1935, called "The 400," because the railroad advertised "400 miles in 400 minutes." And they did it with steam.
