Questions about Trains From Long Island City to Penn Station

[jis]

There are parts of the map specially in some of the outer reaches that I need to look at from time to time. But this part is etched in my head.

I spent 12 years living in NYC. But I have to say: that map would intimidate the h..... out of any visitor!

It's clear to me now that everyone has been so helpful. I should say, the part I'll be using is clear to me. As to the rest of the map, being colorblind with some (not all) colors would create problems.

Maybe I'm smarter than the average visitor (at least when it comes to transit maps), but I think it's great.

Me too. And Paris is even better.

The elevator to the E train is on the corner across the street from the Thompson Ave Bridge over the SSY. Quick trip to NYP. I don't remember the E train elevator layout at 34th st -Penn Station, you may have to go up to the street and one block South to get to the elevator for Amtrak.

AFAIR at the 8th Ave./34th St./Penn Station (IND) station, there is an elevator from the Southbound Local platform where E should arrive from Queens, down to the Mezannine, The Mezzanine is where the exit turnstyle is and then there is a ramp from the Mezannine to the LIRR level of Penn Station. To get from that level to the Amtrak level, take the first cross passage and either take the escalator or various elevators from that level upto the Amtrak level.

What is the SSY?

SSY may be short of SSYD which is the Amtrak code for Sunnyside Yard.
