<p>I think the mcttrails are the best in IL. You can take a different route every day of the week on it</p>

<p>JK--the great thing about chainlink posts is they can be a reference for others with the same question. Plus, 18 miles isn't bad...</p>

<p>Take that Lincoln Service train (carry-on) almost to St. Louis. Get off at Alton IL and cross the Mississippi River to get on the Katy Trail. Take that along the Missouri River to Windsor Missouri where you can get on the Rock Island Spur, which is relatively new. It takes you almost to Kansas City. </p>

<p>Yes. Unboxing and reassembling the bike in Pittsburgh at 5AM was a real nightmare. The freight staff there and in Chicago and DC were all great, though.</p>

<p>That used to be my preferred entrance, but security concerns have closed it off now so I just use the handicapped entrance right off Clinton. It's not any harder.</p>

<p>If you're exiting the station you can sometimes get out that way if someone is entering or exiting the door and hold it open for you. </p>

<p>It used to be possible to use the auto ramp entrances on Clinton to roll right down to the platforms, completely avoiding the Great Hall and all stairs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Those entrances are much more "secured" now, so I don't know if that's still an option.</p>
