New York to Augusta, NJ
 

Is there a commuter train that will take us from downtown NY to Augusta NY to the state fair in August? Or what is the preferred method of transportation? Thanks

Holly, <BR>You may want to change your heading as it says Augusta NJ and I think you meant Augusta NY. P.S. You may want to go to the amtrack website.

Augusta is about 240 miles from NYC. There is no train service to Augusta and I doubt there is bus service. <BR>The nearest town of any size is Utica, about 20 miles away. There is probably Amtrak service to Utica; there is bus service. I can't help on how you would get to Augusta from Utica.

There is no rail in August. The nearest rail is Dover. <BR> <BR>Bus service runs from Port Authority to Newton (lakelandbus.com). <BR> <BR> <BR>The Sussex County Farm and Horse Show (recently bought the State Fair license to use "State Fair") may provide you with a better and closer solution. <BR>http://www.newjerseystatefair.org/ <BR>973-948-5500

oops, meant to say no rail service to Augusta- not August!. <BR> <BR>NJ is in dark ages when it comes to public transportation, unless you live on/near a route to NYC. <BR> <BR>Why are you coming to the fair? <BR> <BR>Also, the New Jersey CArdinals minor league baseball stadium is adjacent (~miles) to the fairgrounds. There may be seasonal service to the games.
