Buy the USA Rail Passes and you can pick them up at the Station or by using the QuikTrak self-ticketing machines from Amtrak. Once you have purchased a USA Rail Pass, you must book a reservation (which is free if there aren’t any accommodations) for each train before boarding. Tickets and reservations are available over the phone (1-800-USA-RAIL) or at any staffed Amtrak station, but should be made as far in advance as possible, as seating is limited for pass holders.
