Howdy. I'm going to be in Montgomery for some training later this year and wanted to ride the trail. An option I was considering is driving up to Atlanta, taking the train to Anniston, and riding back to Atlanta. I wanted to see if anyone had experience with this in the past and could offer advice. Additionally, if you have experience with Amtrak in general any advice would be appreciated.
Doing initial research things I have found:
Bikes can't be checked but seem to be able to be boxed and checked.
Anniston does not have checked bag service (limiting my terminus in ATL). Unsure how this affects the unloading of bags.
Only one train per day and it's a morning one
