We have a MULTI-CITY trip coming up in a few weeks as follows:
NBN-CHI-SEA-LAX-FLG-LAX-OAK-SFF-SFW-EMY-CHI.
There are 3 of us, myself, wife and daughter.
Friday there were three emails sent from Amtrak (I assume they were sent to all three of us as I listed my email for all three contacts) which states "This is not a ticket" and "Scan at Quik-Trak. The email included a summary of our trip.
A forth email was sent which contained a "AMTRAK eTicket" and listed the reservation number and a breakdown of the trip. It also states at the top "PRESENT THIS DOCUMENT FOR BOARDING"
Since Newbern is an unmanned station and does not have a Quik-Trak machine (the nearest one being in Memphis two hours away) I assume I will be using the eTicket.
What is the purpose of the first three emails? They also have language in them stating that if the email is not scanned and a ticket printed before departure time the entire trip will be canceled. So if we get to Newbern, the train is late and our email has not been scanned will our entire trip be canceled?
Odd that the Quik-Trak ticket scan info came in three emails and the eTicket came in one email. All emails were sent on the same date and time.
Do I need to take any action or am I good to go?
