A Train Odyssey, Part 1: Chicago Metra Union Station

This video is part one in a series of four videos that I call A Train Odyssey. Please be aware that when I was shooting the video, I envisioned a threepart series, instead of a four part series, and some of that my spoken dialogue still references Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, out of three videos, but it was too late to reshoot those videos once I realized it would actually be a fourpart series. I have tried to correct all TYPED text and add popup text correcting myself when my voice is referring to the original threepart series. Part 1 is a combination of the Chicago Metra train trip from my home in the suburbs to Chicago Union Station to catch the AMTRAK Cardinal train, which I was taking as far as Washington DC, although the train continues from there to its terminus. Once I arrive at Chicago Union Station, I do an extensive tour of that station, the immediate surrounding area in downtown Chicago, and the Metropolitan Lounge in the station.
