I didn't know that about the stations not having baggage check. Thanks for the info That explains a lot!saxman66 said:Many of the smaller stations don't have checked bag service, so they must be carried on board. Cities like Devils Lake, Rugby, Stanley, and many other small towns aren't big enough to have a staffed station with that service. So thats why many ppl carried on.
Minot does have checked baggage, but just like airplanes, most people hate to check their bags. Especially since they don't want to have to wait for them, once they reach their destination.lathamary said:I didn't know that about the stations not having baggage check.

Over 100 people got on at Minot, though, on the way back and that is where the train got overfull. Many of those people came on with big bags, and I would think that Minot had baggage check.
Ahhhhh! Didn't think of that eithersaxman66 said:And to add to Alans comment, even though Minot has checked bags, both your departing city AND arriving city has to offer checked bags.
