My old commute was 30 miles each way. I've done the commute three ways. Here are the emissions comparisons using https://calculator.carbonfootprint.com https://calculator.carbonfootprint.com for reference:
* Full-time remote, monthly trip to NYC, 5544 rail miles: 0.06 - 0.42 metric tons of CO2, depending on whether you classify the Acela as a "long distance" train or a "local/commuter" train
* Drive to the train station, take the commuter rail five days a week: 3k miles of driving and 12k miles of rail travel for the year: 2.39 metric tons of CO2
* Drive 60 miles round trip five days a week: 7.83 metric tons of CO2
