Tourist: Going by train to downtown Chicago

Yesterday was my day as a tourist in Chicago.
Together with my son, we took the train from
a station called North Chicago, next to
Waukegan, to downtown Chicago.
It takes around one hour.
First surprise: the railway station in
North Chicago was a small wooden house
and it was CLOSED.
Second surprise: The train had two floors.
Third surprise: The ticket back and forth to
Chicago cost only five dollars!
Fourth surprise: The ticket had a special place
on the back of the seat in front of you,
making it easy for the conductor to check
that all the passengers had tickets.
