>From the Amtrak page on baggage policy: Amtrak offers checked baggage service at many stations and on many trains and Amtrak Thruway buses throughout the country. Each ticketed passenger may check three pieces, not to exceed 50 pounds (23 kg) per piece, at no charge. A maximum of three additional pieces, and overweight items up through 75 pounds (34 kg), will be accepted upon payment of a surcharge. Oversize items checked to destinations served by Amtrak Thruway buses are subject to delay; tandem bicycles are not handled on buses. Jim -- Metric Methods(SM) "Don't be late to metricate!" James R.
