TRAIN
The train is a medium used by commuters from neighboring cities to reach New York. It can also be a great way to get out of town. From here you can easily reach cities such as Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington D.C. connected by the fast train Acela Express. You can then reach more remote destinations such as Adirondack, Toronto, Niagara Falls and Chicago.
In Manhattan there are two main train stations, the
Grand Central Terminal and the
Penn Station.
