weird ? about VERY early boarding
so I am flying into JFK and then need to get from NY to DC. Particulars are that I arrive JFK at 8:30PM and then need to get to DC. There is an Amtrak around 3:15AM the next morning. Someone posted in response to another post in another forum that Amtrak will let you board early (this would be 5 hours early) then I could rest on the train as it sits in the station. This would strike me as a bit unusual in a post-911 era - and I must admit, I'm not all that excited about "spending the night" on a regional train - but does anyone know if this is true? just trying to exercise all options as I decide on how to get from NY to DC at that hour. Thanks for any info.
