That is interesting I regularly used to do a 65 mile commute to London which can take just over an hour on the slower train and 35 min on the intercity. (Bedford to St Pancras)

Not sure id have done one at double the time.

New Haven isn't the furthest, Poughkeepsie is. I was a little off with my mileage though, since Poughkeepsie is 80 miles north, not 90.

There are hundreds (thousands even) of people that drive from further north to get to the Poughkeepsie train station every day. It's bananas.

Technically you can transfer to the Shoreline East in New Haven and go all the way to the Connecticut River.
