We also traveled regularly to Edwardsburg MI. The South Shore had a decent schedule to South Bend airport and is very reasonably priced. Still needed a car at the other end to complete the trip. The train takes 3.5 to 4 hours plus another 1.5 hour at each end. The drive took two hours. This was still my wife's preference because she hated driving on either highway, and she had me to drive her to/from the train station at Randolph and Michigan. I always drove.
