St. Clair had the marketing savvy and contacts. In 1999 and 2000, he had arranged for New England riders to ship their bikes to Minot, N.D., while riding the Lake Shore Limited and Empire Builder, but found willing advocates in Amtrak’s Mail and Express division at the Intercity business unit for a special to Newcastle, Wyo., in August, 2001. They were eager to show how the equipment and facility ramp-up could pay ancillary dividends with new revenue from special trains.

It would be great . Plus electric bikes , skegways , mobility scooters etc....
My first trip to the USA i had my bicycle , It must have crossed the country 3 times on Amtrak . Only damaged by Amtrak once. I had a bike bag it folded into .
Went onto Europe , then back to NZ via Asia , only to be stolen in my home town.
