Get in
Rhode Island has three AMTRAK train stations - South Kingstown (close to the beaches of Narragansett and Charlestown), Providence (in downtown Providence), and Westerly (close to the RI/CT border). Amtrak trains often run late, so do not rely on them for time-sensitive trips.
The same roads run past Wakefield, where they are ranked and described in full.
