Please do not rail into me for posting this...
I can only imagine what sort of loco motive you had for posting such a thing at a platform like FT. Is that any way to conduct(or) yourself?

As has been discussed, you MUST get your paper Amtrak ticket from the CO kiosk at either zfv or ewr (depending on direction of travel) and within a certain time of the departure. CO will cancel the next segment if you fail to properly obtain the Amtrak ticket. I don't know whether they'll check on the use of the ticket. Clearly, if you properly obtain the ticket and don't ride the train they won't know in time to cancel the remaining segments.
