On an unrelated -- but somehow quite related -- note, a person made a comment on another trains forum that I check in on that if MARC (the Maryland area commuter line) would only extend its reach another 35 miles up to Wilmington, Delaware, it would be possible to ride commuter trains from New London to Washington, DC and beyond.
The trip would be:
- Shoreline East from New London to New Haven
- Metro North from New Haven to Grand Central Terminal, NYC
- Subway from to GCT to Penn Station, NYC
- NJ Transit from Penn Station, NYC to Trenton, NJ
- SEPTA from to Trenton, NJ to Philadelphia, PA
- SEPTA from Philadelphia, PA to Wilmington, DE
- (if they would just build it, ) MARC from Wilmington, DE to all other MARC points, including DC.
I thought it was a fun observation.
