[at-l] trains from the AT into NYC

[icw at esisnet.com (Clark Wright)]

In going thru old AT-L digests that filled my e-mail in-box while out 
hiking in NJ and NY, I saw the thread about the train into NYC from the 
AT.  Having just returned from using ye olde trains up that way, I 
thought I would pass on my experience . . . first, the Harlem line that 
goes right to the AT station only STOPS at the AT station on weekends . 
. . if you take it on other days, you will just get to look at the AT 
whizzing by the window . . . a good second bet if you need to get in or 
out of NYC on other days is to use the station on the next line over 
that runs thru the town of Garrison, NY.  That station runs 7 days a 
week, and is about a 3 mile walk (sometimes can get a hitch) from the 
Greymoor monastary - often the folks at the St. Christopher Inn will 
give you a ride into Garrison . . .
