HGR3inOK, thanks for posting that link. Very helpful.
Interesting - I just came back yesterday from a trip that originated in NYP, on a totally full train, and there were two women in front of me that had boxes that were at least four feet tall, PLUS a bunch of regular luggage that was clearly oversize for carry-ons. In spite of that, the conductor even offered to help them stow it. :-)
