  • Answer:

    Amtrak moved to all reserved trains few years ago so the train number on your ticket should match the train you're on. I don't know about missing the train but you can almost always show up early and get on earlier train if you go to the ticket agents. Sometimes you may have to pay a little more if there's a price difference between the trains.

Just go to the ticket counter. They should be able to switch the time for you. Just don't get on the train, because when you are caught you will be put off at the next station.

Just go check with the ticket agent, many times they are willing to work with you. I actually missed my train last week in N.C. I talked to the ticket agent and she refunded that ticket and gave me another one for the next train through. Ended up being cheaper. But it just depends on who you talk to and what kind of day they are having.
