Midwesterner interested in an Amtrak trip to Connecticut next year for FFD

I'd be interested in going to this next fall. There's an Amtrak line thru my town (E. Lansing, MI).
I'd take my '68 Louison Bobet road bike converted to 650B rando bike.

Would love to have you join my '650B Vintage Bike Fan Club' Facebook group.

I'm thinking of booking a flight for next year, or perhaps Amtrak. Looks like Milwaukee, WI to New London, CT on Amtrak would be about $140 and around 30 hours travel time, but no need to ship the bike(s) that way, as you can take them on the train with you, boxed or built. At this point my options for bikes to bring would be:

B. Carre 700C sportif, Columbus-tubed (70s, not built up yet)
Alps 650B randonneur, made by Toei (early 80s, not built up yet)
Toei 650B randonneur (late 70s/early 80s, not built up yet and will need new decals)
Cherubim 650B randonneur (70s, almost done with the build)

Anybody else from the midwest interested in an Amtrak trip to Connecticut next year for FFD?
