Count me in that rare group. I've taken several tours where a train was a leg, and not the start of the trip. In each case I camped near the train station (within 20-30 miles) and showed up in the a.m. with my bicycle to board the train. I road Amtrak and put the bicycle in a box at the station (which provided the box as well).
