Acela, Boston-New York

[fredandgingermad]

I'm in Boston at the end of the month to see an exhibition and have opted to spend the weekend in New York, i'm taking the Acela on the Saturday morning so i can maximise time spent, however my starting point prior to Boston is the UK so unless i can make arrangements with where i'm staying in Boston, i'd be travelling with luggage (one suitcase) as apart from the exhibition, this is really a shopping trip (in the US for a long weekend!) Am i likely to run into any problems here? From what i could find on Amtrak's website it appears not, i travelled with the same suitcase last year on Amtrak

Really looking forward to being back in the US even if it is a really short trip this time, will be strange not taking any LD trains though!

 

[OBS]

I don't see any reason you would have a problem.

There are luggage racks at the ends of the acela car. There are also large overhead compartments for luggage - they are closed with doors like on a plane, but much, much bigger.

If you can get your bags on a plane (either checked or carry on), you will have no trouble getting them on Acela (or any other Amtrak train)!
