I almost missed it this morning by being to easy going about getting to the platform.   About 10 minutes prior to arrival the station staff directed us to go out to the various positions on the platform.  I waited expecting a second call when the train arrived.  I got up to head out and the train was already in the station.  By the time I walked to the 1132 car the attendant was closing the door.  I knocked on the window.  She had to call the conductor to get permission to open the door.  Lucky for me permission was granted.  

Amtrak runs a tight operation in emy and it is important to listen and follow directions here.  

I accept complete responsibilty for this close call.  I am lucky I did not miss the train.
