Union Station
New Haven, CT
We bought a car in Rhode Island and decided to take the train from Union Station to Providence to pick it up.
Our daughter dropped us off at Union Station, so we wouldn't have to mess with picking up our other car and parking in the lot all day.
This is our first trip taking the train east to Providence and we were excited. Apparently you have to have reservations and we were able to purchase the tickets online, so when we went to the ticket window we were set to go.
So a ticket from New Haven to Providence is $34.20 and you need a photo ID.See our tickets
