The grand opening of the Administration Building was held on May 15, , and was attended by thousands of onlookers who came to tour the facility, watch a fireworks show, and catch a glimpse of aviator Amelia Earhart. When the U. Army took over the facility during World War II, improvements such as new and extended runways, a control tower, and hangars were constructed.
The Army used the airport to ship more than 51, aircraft overseas for the war effort. They were constructed in factories nearby, flown to the airport, partially disassembled, and packed up for shipping.
Post-war, the city once again took control of the facility, but in it signed a lease with the Port of New York Authority now the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to manage the airport provided that the organization make improvements. An additional acres were purchased for future expansion, including land in the town of Elizabeth.

Not because it's not a nice experience, but simply because if something goes wrong you don't want to miss the Silver Star. If you are coming in early and heading to DC for a visit with your sister, then that a horse of a different color. And Acela OPT is pretty good, usually around the 90th percentile.

You must pick up your baggage before boarding the AirTrain to the train station. Is 1 hour and 20 minutes enough time to pick my luggages and get to amtrak station at Newark airport? Depends on the airline and time of day. It could be tight.
I would not risk it myself but YMMV. It is very unpredictable. There have been times when I got my baggage in 20min, and other times when it took over an hour. SwissMiss Guest. I would love to know this answer as well! I fly in from Miami on the 4th Easter weekend at pm and have to get to DC.
