A day for train travel to Princeton University (from New York)
By NYGossip （First time to write an English travelogue.）
Needless to say, as one of the eight universities of the Ivy League, and one of the nine Colonial Colleges founded before the American Revolution, Princeton University has enjoyed world-wide reputation for its eduational level and research strength. One of the reasons that I have been looking forward to paying a visit there is that it has a beautiful campus. So in a very sunny weekend in mid-September, I decided to make this visit on Sunday.
Princeton University is located in Princeton, New Jersey, but it's not so far away from New York. A train ride less than one and a half hours can take you there.
If you don't want to bother to drive a car to Princeton University, then I recommend taking a train. Amtrak and New Jersey Transit operate trains along the Northeast Corridor rail line that stop at Princeton Junction. Travelers can then transfer to a single-car train operated by New Jersey Transit, known locally as the "Dinky", for the five-minute ride to Princeton Station, where you are officially in Princeton University. The station is located on University Pl

at the southern end of campus, across from the McCarter Theatre Center.
In the morning, I arrived at New York Penn Station, a main terminal for both Long Island Railway Road and New Jersy Transit. I went to the NJ Transit Area, found the ticket vending machines, then I bought a round-trip ticket between New York Penn Station and Princeton Junction ($14.75 for one-way). As you can see from the image below, since I am going the Northeast Corridor direction, what I need to pay attention to is the line saying "11:14 TRENTON NE CORR...", which will depart soonest from now. Focus on the board to wait for the Track number for your train and then head for that track as soon as it is shown.

After boarding the train, you can either take a short rest or get ready for some New York suburb view from the window. The train I take set off from NY Penn at 11:14am, and arrived at Princeton Junction at 12:25am. Besides NJ Transit (70min $14.75 one-way) you can also take Amtrak (50min but $33 one-way). The info can be found on their official website.
