Dang, no replies?
I see a possible end-around on this policy. It says unless it's a real folding bike it can't be brought aboard as a folding bike.
So... you're golden! You're bringing it aboard as luggage. What are the max luggage size specs? Can a PLAYPEN be brought aboard? If your bike is bagged it's no longer a bike but is luggage of a size. Whattathink? We need some beta!
I would think if your luggage fits into the luggage bins at the front of the car that you're good to go. (Can't stick out into anyone's way, etc.)
PS: So far in googling I see one link where Jan puts a Rinko bike aboard Amtrak...
Michigan has two trains that occasionally have bike racks for 4 bikes. It was part of a test program begun maybe 5 or more years ago. I think the bike racks often sell out way in advance. So they are not actually providing a bike option for normal passengers. And they are not responding to demand.
