Many who reserved a seat on a Washington-bound Amtrak train leaving the Staples Mill Road station on Inauguration Day still haven't picked up their tickets.
And waiting until Tuesday could mean long lines -- and possibly missing the train.
Before the historic day, travelers should go to the station to pick up a printed ticket from the ticket window or machine, said Chuck McIntyre, acting station manager for Amtrak's Richmond-area district. The station is open 24 hours a day.
