Good to hear..and good to know about the bike on the Hiawatha. Looks like a beer at (maybe?) the Hubbard Lodge Beer Garden..very good Sunday brunch. In the heart of Milwaukee, but you'd swear your way up north.
The Oak Leaf intersection location escapes me. I'm sure I've ridden it..more than once..probably more than twice..

I've done Amtrak several times a year through Union Station. The trains aren't ALWAYS late, but 30 minutes is way too tight to depend upon it. The 4 hour layover can be enough time to enjoy "The Loop" but securing the bike and gear would be a challenge. From Union Station you can get on the lakefront trail, head north and work your way through the trail system that leads to Milwaukee. There is a state park with campsites near Zion Il which is a good place to stay..
