My original train out of ZFV was Saturday morning. On Friday afternoon, I picked up my ticket from Princeton Junction. Saturday morning, I got on the Amtrak train in Trenton (same train that I would have been on if I left in Philadelphia). The conductor didn't make it to me to check on the ticket until after Metropark. After I arrived at Newark, I waited at the desk until 9:00 AM to get my Amtrak ticket for Sunday morning (my mileage run got me back in the next morning). At that point, I had my boarding passes for the rest of the flights and the train ticket to get back to ZFV (or Trenton in my case).
