About an hour drive away from Williams College, great for those traveling anywhere in the area you can get to by train, particularly [[New York]]. About double the price of the MTA [[Wassaic Train Station]], but nearly half the driving time spent from [[Williamstown]].
==Getting to the Albany Train Station==
===Around the Mountain===
*Head North on Route 7. You'll enter into Pownal, Vermont.
*Take a left at Rt. 346. This will happen soon after both sides of the street widen to two lanes each. Regardless of your intuition, follow the big yellow arrow signs.
*Eventually 346 will dead end, and you'll take a right on Rt. 22. You aren't on 22 for long--but fortunately, you can't miss your turn, as this road also dead-ends.
*Take a left at the light (on the right should be a Stewart's Gas Station). This will put you on NY-Rt. 7 West (not to be confused with Vermont 7 -- not the same road). Follow this road all the way into Troy. Watch out for cops, especially towards the end of the month.
*Take the exit for I-787 South towards Albany.
*Take exit 5 to merge onto I-90 East towards Boston. It will be on your left side.
*Take exit 7 for Washington Ave towards Rensselaer.
*Turn right at Washington Ave, and follow this downhill curvy road all the way down.
*Turn left at Broadway, and a left at Partition.
*Take a right at East, and it should be on your right.
Google provides cool pictures of the exit signs.
