What people say
Brandon Roertgen
"The Windy City is a major hub for Amtrak services with more than 15 named trains departing (some with multiple frequencies) and roughly 10,000 passengers daily. Connections can be made to Amtrak long-distance trains headed toward Seattle (Empire Builder), Los Angeles (Southwest Chief), New York (Cardinal & Lake Shore Limited), Emeryville (California Zephyr), Washington (Capitol Limited), New Orleans (City of New Orleans) and San Antonio (Texas Eagle).
Union Station is located just west of the Chicago River and spans nearly 10 city blocks (mostly underground), however, entrances are located at street level between W. Adams St and W. Jackson Blvd. The station is also served by CTA Buses, the L trains, Megabus and Greyhound.
Located directly downtown, there are numerous restaurants and takeout options on the surrounding blocks. Quicker, fast-food like options can be found inside the station."
