    I am amazed at how there are like 10 tips here warning about Jesus freaks. No sooner did I check in than a guy sat next to me and started mush-mouthedly mumbling about how he brags about His mercies.

    Best way to avoid the religious people trying to convert you and the hobos is to put some headphones on and listen to music.

    If going northbound to Jefferson Park, use the fifth train car. Leaves you off right by the stairs and escalator.

    There is a religious nut with a sign proclaiming Saturday is the True Sabbath that screams "Read it and tweet it" as you pass. He's a must see! ;)

    Ticket machines only take exact change, and there is no converter. Be sure to have small bills and coins! It is cheap, though. $2.25 for a rail ticket.

    Don't let the heat lamp go off. The wind can be a bitch when it's cold.

    There are short trains in the morning. If you wait to far down you'll miss the train.

    Don't walk leisurely up or down the stairs. Or at all. People got places to go!
