Funny you said that. It was a family tradition for us to go to Chicago at Christmas time to window shop and eat at the Berghoff. Now that Marshall Fields and the Berghoff are gone I have know reason to go. I like Indy better anyway...

I thought the same thing (Chunnel concept), except that for the Indy-Chicago trip, somehow the load/unload time will have to be quick enough to justify the time.
Of course it will take a lot more energy to transport a car+passengers than it would to just transport the passengers without the car. In which case the cost of a ticket may be high.
Takes about forty minutes for the Chunnel thing, that for a trip of under 20 miles. And you get off in the country, not in a large urban area.
