I didn't think to take a picture. The bike car had a bicycle stencil on the door. The bike area was to the rear of the car, behind a sliding door. It had a rack with four hooks and vertical channels. The bike was hung by the front wheel, with both wheels in the channels.
I took the bags off and carried them into the passenger area in a nylon stuff sack.
My ticket did specify the car number for the bike along with the one for my seat.
I have to say, when you're on tour it's nice not to have to disassemble the bike for a short train ride.
