Train connections to Belmont Park for Sunday

[blackthroatedwind]

There are two trains only to Belmont.

You can take the train to Queens Village and walk or just get a car service, which is right across the street from the station, which costs under $10.

The train ticket is also cheaper round trip ($5) to Queens Village than it is to Belmont ($11), so that helps balance out the car service. Plus the walk isn't that far.

It's $5 or $5.25 each way from Penn Station to Queens Villiage off-peak....though you can use the City Ticket on weekends which is $3.25 though I'm not certain the City Ticket isn't just a summer thing.

Didn't see anything about it being a summer only thing.

Thanks for all the info & help....but even though, I hate driving in city traffic....decided to drive down.
It's too early to leave from Fonda to get the train from Poughkeepsie. Hopefully, I don't get lost!

I assume you know the best way to drive?

I would take 87 to the Pallisades, to the GW Bridge, to the Cross Bronx, to the Throgs Neck Bridge, to the Cross Island, and get off at Exit 26 ( which is Belmont ).
