I am traveling on the California Zephyr from Chicago to Winter Park this March. This will be our second time, we are super excited.

My question is which train would be better to take from Elkhart, IN, to Chicago. Last time we booked on the Capitol Limited, and ended up having to drive to Chicago (and pay $170 for parking) because the Capitol Limited was running late and I was afraid we wouldn't make the departure time for the California Zephyr.

Any recommendations on which route is usually more reliable?
 
Thanks for the site and information.

Yes, I could take the south shore, which I've done before and it is a great way to get into the city. However, it does not go to Union Station--it's about a 20 minute walk, and we have a ton of ski gear and younger kids.
