Answer 4

you can get to North Carolina from Chicago by train, but it is a long and convoluted route.

Starting at Union Station in Chicago, you'd have to go to Washington, DC, wait 17 hours, and then go to Greensboro (you didn't specify a city in North Carolina, so I'm just assuming this is where you're going).

You could also go from Chicago to Charlettesville, VA, but the wait in Charlettesville  is even longer - 20 hours.

The train (the 30 - Capitol Limited) has several stops from CHI to WAS, so it's also a 17 hour train ride, a 20 hour wait, then another 6 hour train ride from WAS to GRO.

ticket cost for no advance purchase leaving today is $161.

And, you can also go by bus - from Chicago to Greensboro, NC, there's a bus that leaves at 2:15pm, takes 1 day + for the trip, then arrives in Greensboro the next day at 5:10 pm.  - $126.

If you can fly - American Airlines and United Airlines have non-stop flights from Chicago to Greensboro.  No advance purchase, one way, is $220.  And it's only a 2 hour flight.

Answer 5

Check the Amtrak link below for details, but the trip takes 2 trains; one from Chicago to DC, and then another from DC to NC.

Answer 6
