Can I bring my own bike on board the Amtrak Southwest Chief?

Yes, Amtrak allows passengers to bring their own bicycles on board the Southwest Chief, which travels between Chicago and Los Angeles. However, there are certain rules and restrictions that you need to follow:

• Bicycles need to be in working condition and should be stored in a box or a carrying case.
• Bicycles can only be loaded and unloaded at staffed stations that are equipped with baggage service. This means that you cannot bring your bicycle on board at an unstaffed station or a station without baggage service.
• Passengers are responsible for loading and unloading their own bicycles.
• A fee of $20 applies for bringing a bicycle on board the train.
• Reservations are required for bringing a bicycle on board the Southwest Chief.

It's always a good idea to check with Amtrak beforehand to confirm that your route and schedule allow for bringing your bike on board. You can contact Amtrak directly or visit their website for more information.
