No Amtrak Railfan, the MHC Cars do not carry bikes. Those trains which carry unboxed bicycles have a baggage car specially equipped to do so. If the train doesn't carry unboxed bicycles, a bike must be packaged and is treated like any other kind of checked baggage, and is carried in the baggage car. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only situation where I could see bicycles in an MHC would be if a company were shipping bikes wholesale via Amtrak. I don't know much about the companies that use(d) Amtrak for freight service, so I have no idea if that's ever happened. In any case, if you as a passenger are taking your bike on the train, it will be transported in the baggage car.
