i don't really know how train trips work. during my layover in chicago, i wonder if anyone can come hang out with me, or if it's like the airport, where you can't leave the station. on the trip to MKE, i have an almost 2 hour gap in chicago and on the way back i have a 4 hour gap. is anyone knowledgeable about trains who'd care to give me the 411?
