The journey from New London to Boston covers 170 kilometers, connecting the Connecticut coast to the Massachusetts capital. Amtrak provides a direct, efficient train service that bypasses the heavy traffic of the I-95 corridor. Driving is an alternative, but parking in Boston is expensive and traffic is notoriously difficult. This route is a primary artery for business and tourism in the Northeast.
