Here's some data about the option of taking the train from Boston to Pittsfield:
The location of the Pittsfield Amtrack station is 1 Columbus Ave, Pittsfield, MA 01201, and the address of the Abode is 5 Abode Rd, New Lebanon, NY 12125. According to Google Maps, the driving distance between these points is just over 10 miles, or about 20 minutes. The Lake Shore Limited leaves Boston South Station at 12:50 pm and arrives at 4:39 pm. The train back leaves Pittsfield at at 4:09 pm and gets back to Boston at 8:01 pm. This is a bit more challenging. Baitcon ends at 2 pm on Monday. Leaving at 2 pm would require cooling our heels in the Pittsfield train station for a couple of hours, not thrilling. (However, I can help with tear-down and thereby earn the favor of staying a little later than 2 on Monday.) The round-trip cost for 1 adult and 1 child is at this point $60. (It could be a little less BUT they seem to limit the availability of "Saver" tickets.)
So, can someone pick up 2 passengers in Pittsfield on Friday evening? Can someone drop off 2 passengers in Pittsfield on Monday evening?
