      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.

      You’ve gotta be on the very edge of both suburbs to be doing it in that time. Minneapolis to Chicago is generally like 5 30
