I've been searching around as of recently, but have yet to find a stable answer.
I'm thinking about choosing Amtrak to move from Boston to Seattle in July. The reason being is because I don't have a personal car to drive across the country, and I need to bring a few things that are prohibited on planes.
Anyways, I could do this via FedEx or UPS however I don't feel safe with their handling. Using Amtrak means I can have full control over my carry ons. I saw on the website that you can have 2 25lb personal bags, and 2 50lb Carry On bags. My main focus is my PC Desktop (I know, I know), and since I could find a way to store it in Carry On luggage that meets the 50lb criteria then it may work. The only concern I have is with Amtrak being okay or not with it.
If they tell me I'm fully responsible for it, then that is also fine. I will most likely have 2 personal bags with a laptop and personal items, 1 50lb carry on with my desktop, and another 50lb carry on with more accessories. I will also be using their Shipping Express method to get a full luggage of clothes out there.
I figured I'd try to get an answer online first, rather than making my way to the station. I also need to find all this out before purchasing a ticket and regretting a 3 day trip. If anyone of you could help more about this policy, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
