Each passenger can bring 1 personal item (25 lbs. and 14 x 11 x 7 inches each) and 2 carry-on bags (50 lbs. and 28 x 22 x 14 inches each; 28 x 22 x 11 inches each on the Pacific Surfliner) onboard free of charge. Personal items such as a small bag or backpack must fit under the seat. Carry-on bags need to fit in the overhead rack or luggage tower. Passengers must be able to safely lift carry-on items over their heads onto the luggage shelf. Bags must fit in the sizer at the station. If they do not fit, speak with an agent or visit Amtrak.com to determine if your train offers checked baggage service.

Each passenger can also check up to 4 bags - 2 free of charge and 2 for $20 per bag, each not to exceed 50 lbs. (23 kg), 75 linear inches (length + width + height). Just make sure the origin and destination stations offer checked baggage service when you book your trip.

You may be charged a baggage fee or denied boarding if your items exceed these limitations.
