The Aug 21, 2017 Total Solar Eclipse centerline passes through Giant City State Park, about 20 miles south of Carbondale.  Chicago will only have a 90% coverage.  Options are to bicycle there 364 miles, two daily Amtrak trains that take 6 hours.  Another option would be to go to St. Louis and go a bit south.

P.S., the Apr 08, 2024 Total Solar Eclipse centerline passes about 20 miles west of the campground.  Other major cities in totality are Indianapolis and Toledo.  Chicago will have a 92% coverage.
