Thanks to our first ride on National Train Day, we're in the process of making reservations again [i wonder how many others will ride again, every person in our group from that day wants to experience Amtrak again, so National Train Day worked for us!]
Our closest station ELY doesn't check baggage, so we were thinking of boarding at CLE because we're riding the LSL in the middle of the night and it might be a hassle getting on with misc carry-on baggage at our station. However, on the Capitol Limited coming home, the baggage situation is a little more passenger-friendly and I don't think we'd need to check the baggage.
Couple of questions then:
~ If we get round trip tickets from CLE to/back CHI, is it okay to get off one stop earlier at ELY on the way home if we don't check the baggage?
~ On the Capitol Limited coming home, we would be subject to carry-on size regulations, correct, to be able to use the baggage bins on the lower level of the train?
Thanks in advance!
