Answer 1

Answer 2

The one at the train station I believe it's called Metra.

Answer 3

There is a single Metra Station in Joliet http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&ge... that has two trains where downtown is the final stop.

1. The Rock Island - http://metrarail.com/Sched/ri/ri.shtml - has the  most stops  so it takes longer but it runs more frequently.  It drops off and picks up here http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=... at the LaSalle Street Station.

2. The Heritage - http://metrarail.com/Sched/mhc/mhc.shtml - Runs less frequently, does not run on weekends BUT will arrive downtown 30 minutes faster than the Rock Island.  The Heritage drops off at http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&ge... Union Station.

The Rock Island is much closer to Grant Park - http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=W+...

Answer 4
