going backwards

Searching for trails to run on in Wisconsin, I came across the webpage of the 400 State Trail, which is:

named for the Chicago - Northwestern passenger train that traveled the 400 miles between Chicago and Minneapolis/St. Paul in 400 minutes.

Amtrak now schedules the same journey for 8 hours and 5 minutes.

Is there any wonder people choose to brave the boredom and NPR deadspots that are central Wisconsin, and drive to Chicago?
