Part of that is simply because LaGuardia (Italian for "an hour or two late") sucks so badly. If you left the North Beltway station at the same time a plane took off from DCA, you would be eating a hot dog on 7th avenue looking up at that plane still circling waiting for a slot to land. |

Just under three hours from Union Station in DC, so your memory is correct. It's about seven hours to Boston. For reasons I don't know, it takes longer to get from NYC to New Haven than it did 60 years ago. -- * Lock up Trump and his family of grifters. * |

For reasons I don't know, it takes longer to get from NYC to New Haven than it did 60 years ago. Probably extra stops on the way or maybe more rail congestion. As an aside, my old 3d shift partner and golfing buddy's brother was a conductor on that train for about 25 years. He would get drunk and call out every stop from Penn Station, well up into connecticut, until someone told him to stop. We usually got to Bridgeport anyway. ;-) |

Thanks to my father in law's railway discount, we got a sleeper both ways, with bunk beds, a toilet and dinner and breakfast. I think the trip took 13 hours and at night, when I wouldn't drive anyway. Only annoying part was the train horn being blasted in advance of the 9,000,000 unguarded crossings. I finally resorted to earplugs and my shooting earmuffs. -- * Lock up Trump and his family of grifters. * |
