Train Station in Saratoga

[GenuineRisk]

Hey guys; I'm planning on coming in for opening weekend, but due to a play I'm in, I can only come for Saturday and Sunday. Airfare on the weekends is very expensive, as is renting a car in Manhattan, so I'm thinking I'll take Amtrak. According to Mapquest, it's just a little over 2 miles to the Racing Museum (which, I assume, is within walking distance of the racetrack itself). My question for anyone who knows Saratoga is- can I walk from the train station to the track? The distance is no problem (I am a NYC'er after all; walking is my life); I just want to make sure I can walk on Washington Street, since it's also listed as Gen Schuyler Comm. Highway.

Does anyone know? Can I walk it without getting mowed down by an 18-wheeler? Thanks, everyone!
