This can be accomplished using addition. If time starts at 5:47, and it takes 33 minutes to get from Point Pleasant to Long Branch, then it is now 6:20.
After you arrive, you waited 14 minutes. It is now 6:34. Finally, it's an hour and 20 minute journey from Long Branch to New York. The final time is 7:54.

Hope this helps!
