Australian visiting

[Leisi]

Ill be visiting usa in nov and we want to use amtrak to get between washing dc , philly and new york. I noticed it there doesnt seem to be checked luggage on this trips. We will have bags under the 50lb but they will be bigger than the measurements. Is this okay?

What ever you can carry on and handle by yourself will be OK. Or get a Red Cap to help you. Nobody should hassle you.

You can also check luggage ahead of time and it will travel on the few trains a day that take checked luggage. Luggage is held in a secured area until you're able to pick it up, whether that be when you arrive (if it's checked in early enough to travel on a train ahead of you with checked luggage) or when you go back to pick it up (if there isn't a train that offers checked luggage before your train.)

What about size, as it was mentioned in the 'OP' that they will be bigger ?
