You would need to get into midtown Manhattan either by the subway connection (low-cost) or by a cab (expensive). From Penn Station you would take any of the Amtrak-operated trains that head to Washington, DC by way of Baltimore. Here's a link to the Amtrak website: http://www.amtrak.com Unless you're wealthy or on an expense account, avoid Amtrak's extra-cost Acela Express and choose instead one of their Northeast Regional trains. The trip will still take only about 2.5 hours on a modern, comfortable train. And there actually is some interesting scenery to see--the industrial part of New Jersey, and the inlets and rivers in Maryland.

I would suggest the train. I find the train ride to and from New York City interesting, BUT take my advice depending on what time your train arrives at the station, I would have a ride waiting for me. Penn Station loses some of its charm after sunset, especially for tourists. o another thing, i hope you aren't looking for picturesque scenes of urban/decaying-industrial-city life. The south bound train ride into Baltimore provides me with some of the most depressing/worth it (to me) scenes. Imagine seeing anywhere from 50-100 blocks straight of vacant houses. All of them abandonded, no hopes of being occupied.

To travel by train from JFK, you should take the Airtrain to Jamaica Station, then the Long Island train to Penn Station NY, and there take the Amtrak train to Baltimore this will cost you around $220-250 or the Apex Bus(cheapest option-$50) from Penn Station NY. Flight from JFK to Baltimore international(BWI) will cost you $245. Another option is rent a car one way from JFK to Baltimore for $50-80
