It's a nice boat ride through LI Sound and then up to Boston.

When I was a kid, though, I was on the train at least once a month from
New Haven to Back Bay Station to visit grandparents and aunts and uncles
and cousins. It was a great train ride back then. At least once, I had
to navigate myself from Back Bay to Maverick Station to get to Revere
Beach via the BEYr streetcar line. My paternal grandparents lived there.
I was probably 11 years old at the time. Great adventure.


Not recommended travel for an 11 year old now-a-days.

No. I agree. Times were a lot simpler and safer back then.

That's due to the influx of dangerous Republicans.
