I had an Amtrak station manager insist that I had to unstrap my panniers from each other, he specifically said that I had to do that because that way he could charge for the extra baggage. He was clueless on lots of things, but if he has the authority to refuse to put you on a train, he has a little kingdom where only his rules apply. So, you have to follow his made up rules.
