I have a reservation for the morning train from Fresno (6:50am) to Oakland (11:00am), but I'll be catching it in Merced (7:42am). I'd planned to print the ticket at the station before the train, but just realized the Merced station doesn't open until 7:15am -- after the train has left Fresno. I'm pretty sure that means when I go to a QuikTrak at Merced at 7:15am, I won't be able to print the ticket.
1) Am I wrong? Will I still be able to print the ticket? This would be the best case scenario!
2) If my suspicion is right, can I give my reservation number to the conductor on board? It's been paid for in advance, and I have the email confirmation, etc. It just hasn't been printed.
There's an AGR-related reason I need to use the FNO-OKJ ticket (which cost $43), as opposed to canceling it and re-booking MCD-OKJ (which only costs $39 for that train right now)--the $40+ ticket is worth 10,000 AGR points.
(I fear that if I talk to a station agent at Merced, they will insist on re-ticketing me MCD-OKJ rather than jumping through a hoop to print the FNO-OKJ ticket; if the conductor will definitely accept a reservation number, I'd rather not involve a station agent.)
