Don't hold your breath waiting for it.  There isn't a lot of space available on any trains for bicycles.  Most suburban rail operations only allow a limited number of bikes on off-peak trains and none on rush-hour trains.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

been in the law since 1998 but only a few Amtrak trains allow un boxed bikes. No Acela trains and unofficially

on the Capital Limited. Be great for short weekend trips like Amtrak up and bike back
