I decided I wanted to take the train from Rhinecliff instead of drive down (I despise the Taconic south of 84), so in order to find a time slot that worked with the Empire Service schedule I canceled the first slot I picked then just ordered new tickets for the new time slot. No stress!Must have been an issue with my iPhone preventing me from doing that, thanks!

Railhead wrote:I am not an employee and was able to get ticketsYeah the page had been set up that way previously. I don’t know when it was changed, but I happened to check it out earlier today to see if it was offering tickets to the public. And sure enough, voila. I think it was originally listed as a MNRR retirees group being the host. Now it’s listed as being hosted by MNRR itself.

It says you need to provide your employee number.Once you add the tickets to your 'cart' there's check-boxes for employee, family member, public, etc. They don't make it super clear on the page, but it's there.

My tickets don't even have the date on them, just the time slot I picked.Good catch I didn’t notice that at all. I sent them a message just to confirm, but the MNRR retirees page where I found the initial Eventbrite link was edited with the following:
