We are planning 2.5 weeks of East Coast travel this summer (two boys, ages 13 and 11). We fly into Boston and out of Roanoke, Virginia (we have family near there).
The plan is to take trains from Boston to NYC, NYC to Baltimore, Baltimore to DC, DC to Lynchburg, VA.
Can anyone clarify how baggage works? We will have a couple of big suitcases. Most trains show "no checked baggage" and the one Boston-NYC train I've seen that does allow it has a 9:30 pm departure and 2:30 am arrival, which is less than desirable (although super cheap). Am I missing something, or are big suitcases really not allowed?
