Hi Brompton Riders:
Just a heads up that folding bikes, including Bromptons, are not allowed on Amtrak Acelas, despite seemingly being accepted on all trains on their website: “Folding bicycles under the dimensions of 34" x 15" x 48" (860 x 380 x 1120 mm) will be allowed onboard all trains in lieu of a piece of baggage.” I’ve called to confirm the policy and filed feedback to request Amtrak be explicit on their website about what trains allow folding bikes. Hopefully, this saves some headaches for other people planning travel.

It’s hard to argue with a dimpa bag
Bring a dimpa bag along or another easy cover and you should be good to go. There are some other Reddit threads and blogs about this.
bag it and don’t tell them what is inside. would that work ?
