Curious as to how long it would have taken Booth and Powell to travel from DC (Surratt House on the afternoon of March 17 or morning of March 18) to reach New York by Train?

Hours? A Day? Anyone want to take a guess?

Thanks!
[/q This is better than a guess. I have an 1860 timetable. A train left Washington at 7AM and arrived in Jersey City 7 20 PM. End of the line. Then they have to cross the Hudson. Say another hour. People rarely traved at night - No sleeping cars. If you are interested, the whole trip was- on the train-off the trail,on again off again.
