About all I can add to the saga is that the new baggage cars WITH BIKE RACKS have finally made their appearance. All 5 long distance trains originating from New York have them. I suspect the Capitol Limited will be next, if it doesn't already have them.
Unfortunately, that doesn't mean roll-on, roll-off bike service is any nearer. The only thing that makes me think such a radical idea (for Amtrak) will come about, is that two years ago baggage service was reinstated at several stations even when there is no agent on duty, another very radical idea.
