It's very easy. You take the Downtown E train (of the A-C-E, the blue line) from 34th Street-Penn Station to the end of the line, the World Trade Center Station (at the corner of Church and Barclay Streets, northeast corner of the WTC site).
The WTC site is bordered by West Street to the west, Church Street to the east, Barclay Street to the north, and Liberty Street to the south.
What is the address of Penn Station in NYC?
New York's Penn Station is at 31st to 34th Streets, between 7th and 8th Avenues, in Manhattan. It is located below Madison Square Garden. The main entrances are at 33rd and 34th Street.
How do you get from Penn Station to the PC Richard Theater?
It depends where on Broadway you're coming from. Broadway is the longest street in the world, and it runs in a diagonal line up and down almost all of Manhattan. It cuts straight across Manhattan: uptown, Broadway is on the West Side, and downtown, Broadway is on the East Side. This is because, while New York City is built on an eastward slant, Broadway runs in a straight north/south line up and down New York City and State.
If you're coming from Broadway on the Upper West Side (above 59th Street) then you'd take the Downtown 1-2-3 (the red line) to 34th Street-Penn Station. The 1-2-3 runs up and down Broadway on the Upper West Side.
You could also take the Downtown A-C-E from Upper Manhattan to Penn Station.
In the upper part of Midtown, Broadway winds itself around 7th Avenue like a snake. At one point it's ever-so-slightly west of 7th, and then it continues moving east and ends up ever-so-slightly east of 7th. So, from upper Midtown, you would walk the very short distance from Broadway to 7th Avenue, and again, you'd take the Downtown 1-2-3 (once Broadway veers off its course, the 1-2-3 line runs up and down 7th Avenue).
As you move further downtown in Midtown, Broadway veers increasingly east of 7th Avenue. But if you're starting out, from, say, 34th Street and Broadway, or 27th Street and Broadway, then you are so close to Penn Station (34th between 7th and 8th) that you might as well just walk. Or, if you have lots of luggage to carry, such a short distance in a taxi would not be very expensive.
From Lower Manhattan, the simplest way would be to walk west until you get to the A-C-E line (the blue line) or the 1-2-3, and take them straight to 34th Street-Penn Station.
You could also take the Uptown N or R trains (of the N-R-Q-W, the yellow line) from Canal Street (at Broadway) or Prince Street (also at Broadway), or the City Hall Station (on Broadway between Murray and Warren Streets...Warren Street is one block south of Chambers Street) to 42nd Street-Times Square. Then transfer at Times Square to the Downtown 1-2-3, one stop to 34th Street-Penn Station.
Or, you can get the Uptown F train from East Broadway to West 4th Street, then transfer at West 4th to the Uptown A-C-E to 34th Street-Penn Station.
Note that the East Broadway Station is actually located on Rutgers Street (which becomes Essex Street at Canal Street, one block north of East Broadway) between Henry Street and East Broadway.

How far is Frankfurt hahn from Berlin?
Frankfurt Hahn Airport is approximately 72 miles from Frankfurt main Airport. The driving time between these two airports is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
When did London underground open?
The present Circle line (and varying boundaries) was demarked as an area in 1846 when the Royal Commission on Metropolitan Railway termini agreed that there would be no single railway station for London. On 10th January, 1863, the stretch of the current Hammersmith & City line from Paddington to Farringdon was opened to the public as the Metropolitan Railway. Further schemes then followed and the existing tube network eventually broke through the original 1846 agreement but no major mainline railway station yet breaches this demarcation.
What is the opening time of subway stations in New York City?
The New York City subway system runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It never closes.
However, certain stations may close for the night, if the only trains that stop at them don't run during the night. The only example I can think of offhand is the City Hall Station on the R train (of the N-R-Q-W, the yellow line).
The City Hall Station is in Lower Manhattan. Late nights (11 PM to 5:30 AM) the R runs only in the southern half of Brooklyn (the Sunset Park and Bay Ridge neighborhoods). And the R is the only train that stops at the City Hall Station. So I would assume they lock the station up from 11 PM to 5:30 AM, so people don't enter the station, pay their fare, and then end up waiting for a train that's not going to come for several hours.
But, I don't frequent the City Hall Station (I don't think I've ever passed through it, even) so I can't say for sure.
What train goes to Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn NY?

How do you get to East 53rd Street from Penn Station?
The East Village runs south to north from Houston Street to East 14th Street (Houston Street ---> 1st Street ---> 2nd Street ---> etc.), and west to east from 3rd Avenue to the East River (3rd Avenue ---> 2nd Avenue ---> 1st Avenue ---> Avenue A ---> Avenue B ---> Avenue C ---> Avenue D ---> East River).
You can take the 6 train (of the 4-5-6, the dark green line) to Astor Place. Astor Place sits on the west side of St. Mark's Place. Astor Place is at 8th Street and 4th Avenue, while St. Mark's Place is 8th Street from 3rd to 1st Avenue. St. Marks Place is the heart of the East Village.
Or, you can take the F train (of the B-D-F-M, the orange line) to 2nd Avenue and Houston Street.
On the 6 train:1) Take the Uptown 1-2-3 or the Uptown A-C-E one stop to 42nd Street (Times Square). Since all six of these trains (the A, the C and the E, and the 1, the 2 and the 3) stop at 42nd Street, it doesn't matter which one you take.
If you look at a subway map, you will see that it appears as though the A-C-E does not stop at the Times Square Station. The A-C-E runs up and down 8th Avenue, while the Times Square Station, and the 1-2-3 line, are at 7th Avenue. However, the A-C-E line is connected to the Times Square Station by an underground tunnel, so you can transfer without exiting the subway system.
2) At the Times Square Station, transfer to the S shuttle train (color code grey) east across 42nd Street, from Times Square (West 42nd) to Grand Central Station (East 42nd).
3) At Grand Central, transfer to the Downtown 6 train to Astor Place.
4) When you exit the subway, walk east across Astor Place (past the big bronze cube) to St. Mark's Place (8th Street and 3rd Avenue). You'll see a bar called the Continental on the north corner of 8th Street and 3rd, and a pizza place on the south corner with a record shop next to it.
On the F train:1) Take the Downtown A-C-E (the blue line) to West 4th Street.
2) At West 4th Street, transfer to the Downtown F trainto 2nd Avenue.
3) You'll get off at 2nd Avenue and Houston Street, down the block from the Mars Bar on 2nd Avenue and 1st Street.

What subway do you take from Port Authority to Court Street in Brooklyn?
The Southern District Courthouse of Manhattan is at the Foley Square Courthouse, at 500 Pearl Street, New York, NY, 10007.
First, you need to get into the subway system. The A-C-Eline stops at 42nd Street-Port Authority, and there is an underground tunnel connecting the 42nd Street-Port Authority Station to the 42nd Street-Times Square Station. Follow the tunnel to the Times Square Station.
At the Times Square Station, get on the S shuttle train, east across 42nd Street, from Times Square (West 42nd) to Grand Central Station (East 42nd).
At Grand Central Station, transfer to the Downtown 4-5-6(the dark green line) to the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall Station. It is preferable to take the 4 or 5, instead of the 6, as the 4 and 5 are express trains and will get you there much faster. It's only two stops on the 4 or 5 trains: 42nd Street-Grand Central ---> 14th Street-Union Square ---> Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall. The 6is a local train, so there are many stops between 42nd Street-Grand Central and Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall.
You will exit the subway on Park Row. You need to walk Uptown. The traffic on Park Row runs Downtown, so, start walking in the opposite direction of traffic. After a very short walk (like, 250 feet), you will reach a fork in the road, where Park Row splits into Federal Plaza (on the left, west side) and Centre Street (on the east, right side). Take a RIGHT onto Centre Street.
After you've walked about 200 to 300 feet up Centre Street, you will reach the intersection of Centre and Pearl Streets. Make a RIGHT onto Pearl Street, and walk about 500 feet, until you reach 500 Pearl Street.
How many carriages are there in a train?
Transport 2010, the 10 year plan, published in July 2000, cites 10,400 passenger rolling stock "units". However, the source does not make it clear how many carriages there are in a "unit". For example, is a 4-car "multiple unit" counted as one unit or four?
That docucment provides no data on the number of freight waggons, which would also be of interest.
For interest:
Typically one carriage costs circa £1 million and costs at least £100K per year to run. If it last 30 years and if interest on the £million is at the Treasury Discount rato fo 3.5% then the annual payment to repay capital and interest would be£54K. If interest is set to 6% the annual payment woudl be £72K
Why is the Trans-Siberian Railway so important to Russia?
Question: Why is the Siberian Train Tracks so important to Russia?
Answer: The Siberian Train Tracks are no longer so important to Russia today (but they still are in use). In fact, these tracks were recorded as the longest in all of Europe. During Word War Two, the Russian Federation had built these tracks to be able to transport themselves to the eastern coast of Russia quicker to fight the series of battles in Japan. They also helped the Russians send foods and goods to a capital named Vladivostok. This is why these Railways were so important. Answered by: Kamchatka6
