Alan,
How does that work for an unreserved train, such as Keystones between Harrisburg and Philadelphia? I regularly buy a ticket for the last train of the day because I don't always know which train I will take. At least up until now, I could pick up the ticket at the QuikTrak and use it on any Keystone I wanted for that day (a trick I learned on FlyerTalk!).

Will the E-tickets effectively make the unreserved trains reserved?
