With Amtrak service scheduled to reach Roanoke on October 31, many people want to know, will we be able to bring our bikes on the train? Unfortunately, no. Amtrak says:
Service to Roanoke is an extension of the Northeast Regional service. The service to Roanoke will not have a baggage car/checked baggage, so no checked bike service initially. The Northeast Regional service shares an equipment pool with the entire Northeastern United States. In order to provide carry-on bike service, we’ll need to make extensive modifications to our equipment.
