A quick question about tickets/boarding passes. Usually when I purchase tickets from Amtrak.com I just pick up the tickets at the station the day of my trip. This year, however, I had the tickets sent to me so I would not have to pick them up at the station.
My question is, now that I have my tickets, do I still need to check in at the ticket desk at the Portland station? I am not checking any luggage. So can I just board the train with the tickets I received or does the ticket clerk need to give me a boarding pass as well? It seems some stations require check in and others don't. Last year I already had my tickets, but when I got to the Cinncinati train station the clerk required all of us to check in.
