By the way, will you be able to get your bike off in Raton?

Looking at the Amtrak site for bicycle service - https://www.amtrak.com/onboard/bring...e-onboard.html The Southwest Chief train is listed as "trainside checked baggage" with checked service available at "select stations".

I have a reservation in August from Albuquerque to Chicago and I was able to add a bicycle to my reservation ($20) when I put in those endpoints. Both ABQ and CHI normally also have checked baggage at the stops - so makes sense that they also let me bring my bicycle up to the baggage car to load. Not sure this is the case for Raton.

For example, if I try scheduling a trip from Kansas City to Raton, it tells me bicycle slots are "sold out", but when I try the exact same train from Kansas City to Albuquerque it gives me an option to add a bicycle.
