Anyone heard any rumors about when unboxed bikes will be allowed on long distance trains? I was looking forward to walk up/roll on service last summer, after reading an Amtrak blog post in 2014 promising such by the end of the year:

Now it's 2016 and we're still waiting. I realise that heritage baggage cars haven't been completely eliminated from the working fleet, and it seems like those are going to be around for the next few months. If that's the problem, then we probably won't see unboxed bikes this summer, which would be a disappointment.
I'd love to start planning trips for the summer -- any guesses?
