As far as transfer, you do sometime have to switch trains as the train that comes in from WAS does not always continue north. Particularly on weekends.
Regardless, it's a long ride on a train when it's a short flight on a plane.
The information you posted, twice, was just flat out wrong. Yes, there are some trains travel only travel from WAS to NYP, but the vast majority travel WAS-BOS with only a short stop at NYP (albeit not as short as at most stations). And if you're traveling from WAS to BOS, you would never transfer at NYP as you'd just be transfering to a different train that originated at WAS.
I'm not disputing that the train still takes substantially longer than flying, but I'd still prefer that the information on this board be accurate. If you're going to get offended when someone corrects your incorrect posts, you should try to post more accurate information.
