Nice! That's a lot smaller than a rinko-packed bike. Mine has a 63-inch frame, and its length when packed up is only an inch or two shorter than Amtrak's maximum length of 48 inches. I don't know if Amtrak requires that it go in a bag, but it's probably the courteous thing to do to keep getting chain oil on other bags nearby.
Yes, my experience has been that the regular, non-superliner trains have a baggage are at one end of a car (or maybe more than one car; depending on the train).
