    NER Carry-On Baggage

    I’ve actually seen a conductor shove a full sized suitcase in the overhead rack before. It only fit about 3/4 of the way but it made it all the way from pgh to 30th street without falling. Took 2 guys to get it back down at 30th street. Sent from my iPhone using Amtrak Forum

    Airport Codes
