By Train

Amtrak's Lakeshore Limited service -- connecting Cleveland with Boston, Chicago, New York, and points in between -- debarks passengers between 2 and 3 AM, depending on the direction from which travelers are inbound. Service on the Capitol Limited -- connecting Cleveland with points between Chicago and Pittsburgh via bus because Amtrak does not offer rail service -- is much the same.

Both trains offer a number of services, including sleeping cabins, a lounge car, and dining accoutrements. Smoking is allowed in designated areas -- usually the lounge car -- but on overnight trips only. Walking the train end-to-end can ease the length of the trip in from the East Coast.

Two round-trip tickets from Boston to Cleveland cost around $480. Inbound from Chicago, the trip will cost approximately $340. Amtrak runs continuous specials, so check the Web site for availability.
