I am flying out to Ronald Reagan-National Airport in Washington, DC and renting a car. I am going to see a friend for a few days and then return the car to the airport and catch the Metro to take me to Union Station where I will board the Capitol Limited and then the Southwest Chief at Chicago. I will be getting off in Kansas City. I have taken this route before and have only taken one bag while my parents drove and had my suit case. Anyways, this time I will have two bags, one rather large roller and a backpack for overnight.
I will be using Club Acela in Washington, DC and the Metropolitan Lounge in Chicago.
I have left my bag in Chicago and went saw the sights before in Chicago and picked it up when I returned to board the other train. Does Club Acela allow me to leave my bags in there and leave to sight see around town?
Also, I am on the fence regarding storing the second bag (luggage rack in the sleeping car or checked in the baggage car). Will my second bag be transferred from the Capitol Limited to the Southwest Chief or do I have to transfer it myself?
