At the train station you must exchange your electronic ticket receipt for a boarding pass (if you are notified that your e-ticket requires this exchange). This can be done in any ticket booth or an electronic terminal. Look for booths that have an e-ticket sign.
It is important that you have a government issued ID that verifies your identity. You will not be able to board a train without your ID. Please make sure that your name on the electronic ticket receipt is printed the same way on your passport.
