In any event, I could get a bus leaving from someone in my area (or drive myself, if I had to) and get there in about two hours.
To get there by train? An hour or so subway ride to get to the Penn Station and another 3 hours by rail.
Don't forget to arrive at Penn Station about an hour-and-a-half early so that Big Sis's unionized TSA can pat you down.
The TSA does not pat down train riders — yet.
And dont forget...when the Govt owns the means of transport..the govt can shut it down in a heartbeat.
