That's the train I'm taking, but I arrive on Thurs and getting picked up.
The NJ Transit from NYC Penn Station to the Belmar station [closest to
InfoAge, 2miles]
They also have non-stop service during rush hour[am & pm] which makes it
easy
Their train schedule shows the itinerary options when selecting the
departure time.
Some will have non-stop service and some don't, during rush hour.
I haven't seen a direct link to each Train on their schedule.
You'll have to enter the info directly on their website, From, To, Time,
Date, click on "Rail" button
I use, From = "Penn Station New York", To = "Belmar"
