You can drive to Chicago from the twin cities in 3 hours? What are you going 160mph the whole time with 0 traffic?

It is a 5 hour drive from Rochester a bit above the speed limit. Rochester is 45 minutes from the southern point of the twin cities.

Train is still longer, but not 4 hours longer. Still electric high speed trains would be the best, but that will never happen.
