Anniston is just a flag stop. No checked baggage on or off. The only person I know who rode the train back to Atlanta from Anniston was riding a Bike Friday tourer that fit in a suitcase-sized case. He also said the 7 miles from the end of the trail to the train station was rough traffic-wise. I have been regularly calling and emailing Amtrak about providing hang up bike service on the Southern Crescent. you should, too.Some other lines in the NE and CA have room to hang a few bikes in or on each passenger car. It doesn't have to go into baggage. I would love to get on the train at my little flag stop in Toccoa and ride to DC.
