The Metropolitan

I was looking at my options for getting to and from the gathering in Chicago, and think I've finally found the affordable and novel answer:
I'd redeem a 3000 point AGR Redemption ticket for travel from BAL to Buffalo-Depew. Then I'd tack on a purchased ticket from BUF to CHI on the LSL.
My question, if anyone knows, regards whether the 3000 point reward is valid aboard the LSL (thus allowing me to board #49 in NYP and simply submit the two tickets to the conductor) or, will I need to redeem the ticket as an NEC/Empire Service combo, ride to Buffalo, hang around a few hours, then catch #49 when it comes through.
Naturally, I'd like to take #49 straight through in order to get dinner on a Heritage Diner vs. an "Amcafe/Amdiner/Amdinette/Amlounge/Amwhatever" car.
