Maybe this depends on your individual reservations, as I can easily see in the amtrak app 3 reservations that I made last month and with a QR code for boarding the train. Also, if I log in at amtrak.com on my laptop I am able to email the boarding document/e-ticket to my email address.
This includes one reservation I have for an acela out of RTE.
However, no one has yet addressed my concerns about the RTE tickets. If I have a ticket for boarding RTE in FC and I board in PVD, is there going to be a problem? Will my reservation be cancelled somewhere between PVD and RTE? I hope not.....I guess if I am doing a paper ticket I should be OK still. Since I will be doing an upgrade coupon (hopefully) and since someone mentioned earlier that they thought free upgrades would require paper tickets, hopefully this won't be an issue for me.
