Get the tickets now. one never knows if the train will be sold out. The prices at the last minute usually be highest, so the earlier you purchase, the lower the fares will be. A last resort would be waiting until about 4 - 5 am Friday morning or so, as that's when the Amtrak resv. computer lists all of the cancellations for that day - if there are any (like I wrote, this is a last resort measure). This can be doen only if you are close to a station where there is an agent to give you the printed ticket.
