    Travel times, station stops and route information.

    Running times

    Each journey is a continuous ride. Direct rail segments are joined across Penn with the selected station stop.

    NJ TRANSIT and LIRR running times use archived feeds assembled September 25, 2026 and evaluated for Wednesday, October 14, 2026. The NJ TRANSIT sample contains 131 weekday trains serving New York Penn. Metro-North running times use November 4, 2026.

    Penn Station Access

    Journeys run from Penn through Queens and the Bronx on the Hell Gate Line, then along the New Haven Line through Connecticut.

    MTA’s East Bronx estimates are 16 minutes between Hunts Point and Penn, 20 for Parkchester/Van Nest, and 25 each for Morris Park and Co-op City. The calculation uses these times in both directions.

    Penn–New Rochelle is modeled at 32 minutes: MTA’s 25-minute Co-op City estimate plus roughly 7 minutes to New Rochelle, read from its 2020 operations study. Continuing journeys add a one-minute New Rochelle stop and direct New Haven Line running times from Metro-North’s official GTFS feed.

    Penn Station Access project

    Long Island City · Potential future station

    A potential station near the Queens Boulevard bridge would serve LIRR, Metro-North Penn Access and NJ TRANSIT through trains. The calculation assumes platform and track access for all three services.

    Penn–Long Island City is modeled at eight minutes: the station’s share of the rail distance to Woodside, applied to the 11-minute median Penn–Woodside running time, plus a one-minute approach allowance. Journeys continuing east use the corresponding running time from Long Island City.

    Penn stops and map sources

    Choose a 5-, 8- or 10-minute stop at Penn. FRA’s Phase I study, Table 3, uses 10-minute through dwells in its relevant operating sets; its five-minute commuter case assumes a proposed super-wide platform and improved circulation.

    Rail data comes from MTA GTFS and the NJ TRANSIT August 2026 sample. Track lines follow stored GTFS geometry, including the Hell Gate and New Haven Line alignments. Street mapping is provided by OpenFreeMap and OpenStreetMap.
