Garrison Train Station

Upon arrival at the train station in Garrison, there are three possible ways to get to West Point:

(1) cadet ferry:  http://www.westpoint.edu/DComm/club/Cadet_Garrison_Ferry_2011.pdf

(2) taxi: There are typically the names of taxi companies posted at the train station.  Be aware, however, that some may charge outrageous fees, and it's best to confirm the price (or price per person) before getting in.

(3) personal auto: Firsties have cars on post, and have been known to go pick up other cadets - depending on when, other duties, etc.  However, this is arranged between cadets and best arranged in advance.

NOTE: Taxi fares may be less expensive from the Peekskill Station (one stop before Garrison).
