Has anyone had issues with the 2" bike tire width limit on Amtrak's roll-on service routes? I have 2.2" tires on my mountain bike and wonder if I'll have a problem.

While I typically take bikes with 35mm tires for trips on the Capital Limited route with roll-on service, I’ve never seen anyone check or look at my or others’ bikes for compliance with the tire width limitation. That said I’ve not seen anyone try to take a fat bike on the train.

While I’m not certain, I think the bikes on that route are simply loaded in the baggage car along with other checked baggage and not in hanging bike racks where the tire width might be a constraint. Other routes may employ hanging racks, so I’ll leave others to comment on their experience on those routes.
