<p>I think I will visit UIUC either on spring break or during the summer. I live in NYC, so it's pretty far. Does anyone know if I can get there by a railroad of some sort as I want to stay away from "airplanes"? Are there any railroads/buses that connect NYC to UIUC or somewhere close?</p>
<p>I don't know any specifics, but I'm pretty sure I've heard there's a train from Chicago to UIUC, and its very likely for there to be trains from NYC to Chicago.</p>
<p>Thanks. I will try to look more into that.</p>
