Most of the umpires attending this years NCAA umpire meeting in Chicago will be taking the Amtrak train down and back.  The train station is located in St. Paul.  I have included my itinerary below.  Note:  I am an AAA member and received a small discount.  Also please note the train numbers (listed next to Service).  There were multiple train numbers to choose from, but they each appear to leave, arrive and depart at the same time.  There was a small difference in the cost between the different trains, but nobody is aware of a difference between the trains.
