[QUOTE]Originally posted by TwinStarRocket: [QB] Checked baggage is like the airlines but free. You check it in at the baggage counter in the station and they give you claim slips. That means you don't have to carry it on and off the train with you. It is transported in the baggage car. You don't have to deal with it until you get off, and Amtrak will check it through to your eventual destination even if you change trains. There is plenty of room in the Superliner lower level baggage area for large bags, but it is not secure and you have to lug it on and off. Checked baggage is mostly a convenience and it is free. You are allowed 3 large checked bags per person. But only major stations actually have staff to load and unload the baggage car. So you can check bags through from Cincinnati to Whitefish and not even have to deal with it in Chicago. But checked bags are not handled at West Glacier so you are responsible for getting all your luggage on and off the train. If you don't have a lot of luggage all this is irrelevant. Stations with checked baggage are shown on the timetable with a tiny suitcase symbol. [/QB][/QUOTE]
