What is the baggage policy for Amtrak?

Asked a year ago
Amtrak's baggage policy allows each passenger to bring two personal items and two carry-on bags onboard. Personal items include purses, briefcases, laptops, and small backpacks, while carry-on bags should not exceed 50 pounds (23 kg) and must fit in the overhead compartment or under the seat. Additional checked baggage is available for purchase, with a limit of four bags per person. Checked bags should not weigh over 50 pounds (23 kg) and must have a combined length, width, and height of no more than 75 inches (190 cm). Oversized or excessive baggage may require additional fees. Passengers can also opt for shipping larger items or bicycles via Amtrak Express Shipping. It is always advisable to check Amtrak's official website for the most up-to-date and detailed baggage guidelines.
