Hey all, I have a few questions about Amtrak travel from Charleston to New York/New Jersey. Are there any Amtrak trains that go from Charleston to Newark Airport station, or would I have to stop to Trenton and take a local train, and how long is the average travel time, 15 hours, 13, 10? Which trains would I happen to ride, the Silver Star, the Carolinan? Thank you all again, I'm going to be stationed in Charleston, and I would like to take the train back to see the family in Jersey.

Only select Northeast Regional and Keystone trains do. You could take the Silver Meteor 98 or the Palmetto 90 directly to NY with a travel time of about 13:48. That is if you're going to NYC. The Palmetto is a daytime train while the Silver Meteor is a nighttime train.
