Is anyone going to be around on Friday afternoon or evening and/or Monday morning and wishing to do another Amtrak (or other carrier) trip?  Last time we were in the New York City area we did the Raritan Valley Line to Plainfield on Friday night.  There are dozens of simiilar short turns we could do on many NJT, MNRR, or LIRR lines, or even Amtrak. If there is enough interest and people in town available, these could be added to our itinerary.

I will be arriving in the late morning/early afternoon on Friday and will be leaving early afternoon on Monday.  I may or may not be spending time with relatives on Monday morning, so I am reluctant to commit to any short turns at this time.

Judging by lack of response so far, I am assuming no Friday evening or Monday rail activities.

I am still debating what I want to do. Had considered silver meteor to Florida or lsl. Both options departing on Sunday.

What amtrak trips are you considering for Monday.

None, really, Steve.   I think with the newer AGR rules, a short Amtrak run would not be that lucrative in the interest of earning tier points.  That said, I have been known to jump on an Acela and go to Philadelphia or Washington for lunch and return.  But if you're planning on something else, go with those plans.

I went ahead and made my own plans for Friday before my arrival into New York City and for Monday after I leave same in the morning.  If the weather is anything like it is right now in NYC, I think Saturday & Sunday are enough to bear the elements.
