Proceed to the 7-11 store at YVR and purchase a Transit DayPass:

Note that you will probably have to pay with cash or ATM card. You usually can't buy transit tickets with credit cards.
Then take the Canada Line Train downtown to Waterfront Station and transfer to a Millennium or Expo Line SkyTrain. Get off at the Main Street - Science World station.
The Amtrak Station is across the park from the Main Street - Science World SkyTrain station.
Drop your luggage, then get back on the SkyTrain and head back downtown.
Get off at Waterfront Station, head to Canada Place and explore. You can also use your day pass to cross the inlet on the SeaBus.
When you're ready to head to Amtrak, use your daypass to take the SkyTrain back to Main Street - Science World station.
On the Amtrak train, make sure to get a seat on the right hand side heading south, and the left side heading north.
Wow, thank you so much,
gglave!!
I did not know about Transit Day Pass & payment method. I will make sure to prepare enough cash before hand (I though I could manage with credit card).
Canada Place looks wonderful. Again, I will make sure to visit.
For Amtrak, I have read about seating side, so I am hoping I would score that.
Once again, thank you very much for your help.
Kind regards,
