Bly arrived back at what busiest station in the United States to open arms?

Bly's publisher, Joseph Pulitzer, chartered a private train for his journalist, allowing her to beat out her competitor, who was actually further behind than presumed, as she'd missed her ship back home. Arriving back where she began in 72 days, six hours, and 11 minutes, not only did Bly beat out Phileas Fogg, she cemented a world record! She wrote, “I took off my cap and wanted to yell with the crowd, not because I had gone around the world in seventy-two days, but because I was home again.”
