AMTRAK only takes something like 6-8 bikes per train, so hopefully you have those spaces reserved already. Why in the world would someone box the bike instead of just rolling it on? Unless it's a tandem or something?
You could also rent a U-haul truck and a second car and just shuttle yourself back. With that many people the cost might work out ok, and give you max flexibility.
Actually Amtrak will take any number of bikes as long as it is boxed. But you can only do that in Pittsburgh and DC (on the route in question)
