Amtrak tells you to arrive a full hour early if you have a bag.

>When should I arrive at the station?

>Unless you're taking the Auto Train, plan to arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled departure. If you need assistance with baggage and/or ticketing, we recommend you arrive 60 minutes early.

“If you need assistance with baggage” is not the same thing as “If you have a bag.”

Someone riding Amtrak for the first time is probably not familiar with how bags work and what needing assistance means

How fucking complicated can a bag be? There's one hole in the top and you put your shit in it and carry it around via the handle.
