Ok so the amtrak train does not stop at 125st harlem station. But there is a train that would bring me to new Rochelle by 8:12pm... Is that cutting it too close? Are these metro north trains usually on time, and specific to the minute?
Thanks

From experience no they do not usually run on time. Metro North is better time wise on average than LIRR but I find it is still usually 3 to 5 minutes late on average.

Cutting it too close. You have to leave early and get the 7:26 at 125th St or do the cab or car service. Probably 50 bucks.
Or take a later train to wherever you are going .
Of course the Amtrak train could well(will probably?) be late but you can't count on it.
If you caught the 7:50 metro north train, you'll be cutting it close. Metro North is very reliable, and Amtrak is usually at least 2-5 min. late. Also, while ultimately I think you'll be ok if you cab it to New Roc from Columbia, you're still leaving yourself under and hr to get there. If 95 or the hutch is backed up, it could take you longer.

Not sure I'm understanding the question, but the Northeast Regional stops at Penn Station. Is there a reason you specifically need to catch it at New Rochelle?

That was my question a few posts back - whether it stops in Penn Station. That seems like the obvious solution.

I don't think that helps. Looks like the train that gets in to New Rochelle at 8:15 leaves Penn at 7:40. That only leaves 10 minutes to get from Columbia (assuming they left at 7:30) to Penn Station, which is pretty impossible.

That's true, but unless I missed it, it wasn't clear to me which direction she is headed on the NE Corridor - north or south. So whether the train is heading to New Rochelle or from New Rochelle. That makes a difference too.

Gotcha. Aside from the fact that it doesn't make sense to go south to go north, there is no southbound 8:15PM train out of New Rochelle, so we have to assume that she is travelling on the 8:25 Northbound
