Amtrak doesn't stop at 125th Street. Trains come out of Penn Station, not Grand Central.

Thanks

There's actually a train that arrives precisely at 8:12 (leaves Harlem at 7:50), but that's obviously cutting it too close: http://www.mta.info/mnr/html/plannin..._16%202011.pdf

The train before that leaves Harlem at 7:26 and arrives at 7:48, but you'd have to leave early to catch that one.

If you can catch that same Amtrak train at Stamford, you can take the 7:47 Metro-North train from Harlem and arrive in Stamford at 8:21.

Apparently, she's heading northbound. There's an 8:15 departure northbound, but not southbound.

We need an update - did you make the train or not??

I was thinking about it this weekend too! Unfortunately she was a first time poster, so I doubt that we'll hear back from her again.
