I’d bet no issues on NJT. But that’s just a hunch. On Septa, officially they are to only allow two bikes per car, and there isn’t any unless on a group bike ride. Find the end of the car with the seats facing each other and you can fit you, a friend, and a bike on a diagonal. I’ve done this many times with my Platypus.
BTW, if you can get “the right” Amtrak Keystone corridor train, it can be less expensive than NYT/Septa, but you’d have to pay for bike. A few of their trains on this route, specifically, are very inexpensive.
