You would need to get on at a baggage station, some stations are not baggage stations. And either box your bike or make a reservation for your bike to be carried in a bike rack in baggage car.
There are quite a few baggage station stops earlier as well leaving some flexiblity, e.g. El Paso, Albuquerue, Kansas City, Omaha, St Louis and Chicago all come to mind...Most of these would be a connecting train (typically via Chicago).
