A less-frequent, and more expensive, Amtrak train from Croton-Harmon or Yonkers to Penn Station, connecting to a Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) train to Jamaica, would be another possibility.īut 2023 has brought an important change. Prior to this year, doing so would have involved taking a Metro-North train to Grand Central Terminal, and then a series of subway transfers to reach the Port Authority’s AirTrain terminal at Jamaica, Queens. The tune was an earworm for many, but the express JFK Airport subway service did not catch on and, for most Rivertown residents, taking the train to JFK was never a realistic option. The MTA Museum has commemorated the campaign on its YouTube channel. Take the Train to the Plane! Area residents of a certain vintage may remember the MTA jingle which ran on local TV stations in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
