I'm taking a trip to NY this weekend via Amtrak. I know you can check bags from NYP to WAS via the overnight regionals, even if you are traveling on another train (I've done that before)... but is it possible to check your bag to WAS from NYP via one of the Long Distance trains? I know the trains are "boarding only" until they pass DC, but would they pull luggage off at DC if needed?
The reason I ask is we are returning late on Sunday and it would be much easier to check our bag at the station than at a third party bag storage place. I really don't want to drag a suitcase to all the tourist sites... and the fewer stops between our last activity and the train the better.
I live way out in the Suburbs, so dropping back by Union Station the next day to pick up our luggage isn't an option.
