    The “400” in the train name referred to both the distance (408 miles) and the time (under 400 minutes, including stops) between Chicago and St. Paul. That speed was remarkable in the 1930s and would still be very good today. Amtrak’s Empire Builder takes 468 minutes (including stops). Google maps shows the driving time via freeway as 371 minutes not counting time lost in stops and bad traffic.
