Sometimes you just want to get up out of your bed, put on a comfortable but stylish outfit, tie your shoelaces, and go for a leisurely ride on the Staten Island Railroad.

YouTuber Brandon Betancourt has taken time out of his life to document an entire Staten Island Railroad trip that spans St. George all the way to Tottenville, the other side of the island. The entire video and trip lasts forty minutes, which is the duration of the trip in real life.

Don’t worry about purchasing tickets because the event will be free to all in attendance and will run from 11am all the way until 4pm.

Only around 700 acres, with eight miles of trails, will be made available to visitors, cyclists, and runners. There will be food trucks present at
