Westporters Make Inaugural Yankee Stadium Train Run

The Franklin family—Eric, Beth, Brett, 8, and Justin, 6—were among Westporters who today took the inaugural Metro-North direct train service from Westport to Yankee Stadium. The journey both ways is about an hour. The Franklins, who saw the Yankees edge the Phillies 5-4, said they learned about the service from a story on WestportNow. (See WestportNow May 19, 2009).
