I rode the NJ Transit once last year from Penn Station to Asbury Park and it took an hour and a half. On the way back I took the 836 bus to Freehold and catch the 139 back to New York. Who trip trip took like 3 1/2 hours to 4 hours
I used to take this train sometimes when hiking in western Harriman State Park and I've taken it as far up as Salisbury Mills - Cornwall to hike Schunemunk Mountain.
