If I am arriving with Jet Blue and wish to go in to NY for a few hours before my next plane departs, will the air train take me into NY and how long will it take to get in there? What is the cost?

We are being dropped off at the Federal Circle stop of the Airtran. Final destination is JetBlue terminal. We will have a fair amount of luggage - are there baggage carts at the Federal Circle stop?
