Subject: New Haven to NYC Railroad 1900

Anyone familiar with the railroad in NYC Connecticut area circa 1900? I
found a clue that may lead my family from NYC to Mount Vernon to New Haven
Connecticut. My family lived at 732 Amsterdam (and at various addresses in
the area on Columbus) Avenue in 1900. The relatives I found on baptismal
records may have lived in the New Haven, Connecticut area at that time. Was
there a easy connection from New Haven through Mount Vernon, NY and the West
Side of Manhattan at that time? Would it have been too expensive for the
"common man" to travel that way? Round trip all in one day? If anyone has
any information I would appreciate it!
Thanks,
Rob
