    Three nights, leaving on Morning 1 and arriving Morning 4. (LA to Portland OR then Portland to St. Paul/Minneapolis).

    Or 2 nights, leaving Evening 1 and arriving Afternoon 3 (LA to Chicago) then Megabus to Minneapolis, another 8 hours.

    Also, there is no direct train from Los Angeles to Minneapolis (really, St. Paul, because that's where the Amtrak station is).

    The only Amtrak train service to St. Paul is the Empire Builder, which travels from Chicago to either Seattle or Portland. Therefore, just based on looking at a route map, you have two options:

    * take the Coast Starlight from Los Angeles to Portland, and then the Empire Builder from Portland to St. Paul

    * take the Southwest Chief from Los Angeles to Chicago, and then the Empire Builder from Chicago to St. Paul

    Well, at least the trains have awesome names.

    Wow! Amtrak must, indeed, be very slow. A British train can travel the 550 miles from London to Scotland in 8 hours. Los Angeles to Minneapolis is 1,525 miles. 61 hours for your journey is unbelievable

    61 hours 45 minutes. Los Angeles to Portland, OR. You will change trains only there and will then arrive into St. Paul, MN. If you leave, for example on a Tuesday morning you will arrive into St. Paul early on Friday morning.

    One thing Ed Fox fails to realize is that, outside of the Northeast Corridor, Amtrak trains are tenants on freight railroads' lines, and must make way for the freight trains, which have priority.
