    You can drive to Chicago from the twin cities in 3 hours? What are you going 160mph the whole time with 0 traffic?

    It is a 5 hour drive from Rochester a bit above the speed limit. Rochester is 45 minutes from the southern point of the twin cities.

    Train is still longer, but not 4 hours longer. Still electric high speed trains would be the best, but that will never happen.

      yeah, i used to live in MInneapolis. even in the summer (the not-snow/ice season), with good weather and traffic, it’s a 5-6 hour drive to chicago.
