SEPTA has now been added to Google Transit.
I've been able to fulfill a longstanding dream, planning long distance NEC trips on local trains! On Google maps, select "Get Directions" and "By public transit".
Try "Washington DC Union Station to Aberdeen MD", "Newark DE to Trenton NJ", "Trenton NJ to New York NY", "New York NY to New Haven CT", "Providence RI to Boston MA". Google transit will put you on all the local trains of MARC, SEPTA, NJT, Metro North and MBTA! The longest trip I've been able to plan so far is "Newark DE to New Haven CT", complete with SEPTA rides, NJT, NYC subway and Metro North (time 7hrs). No fare info yet. On BART it has fares.
The only Amtrak-only segments on the NEC are Aberdeen to Newark, DE and New London to Providence, right? One day just for fun I'd like to make the actual journey using Amtrak as little as possible.
I wonder if Google will ever add Amtrak to transit?
