Obviously I can do that. The information gained is not useful, though. The website indicates that St Lambert, Quebec, for example, has baggage facilities and sells bike boxes. But the agent I spoke to told me specifically the train going there from NYC does not allow boxed bikes. The same goes for Boston.

I just spoke to this agent this afternoon, but I'm already doubting what she said. I'm going to try again. In the mean time, I would still like to hear accounts of people using Amtrak as part of a successful touring experience.
