I want to check my baggage because I'm small and I find it difficult to get my baggage on and off the train. However, I plan on bringing 1 or more flutes on this next trip and I was wondering just how hot it can get in the baggage car. Extreme heat can damage flutes and I have been advised to not keep my flute in my automobile if I'm not running the AC (I live in NM where the sun can really get the inside of a car extremely hot), but maybe it's different in baggage cars which I assume have no windows, but the cars are made of metal. However, the flute will be surrounded by lots of insulation by and in the suitcase. I will be traveling in mid to late August from ABQ to NY via the SWC and LSL. Can anyone advise, especially anyone who has been inside the baggage cars on hot sunny days?
I have tried to search for information on the baggage cars on Amtrak, but I kept getting
