Can I put a cardboard box into checked luggage on Amtrak?
Marcus asked:
I’m moving from New York to Erie PA and am traveling via Amtrak. I have a couple of large cardboard boxes full of various items that I planned on shipping to myself. Would it be possible just to put them into checked luggage instead?

Also, one package is an LCD computer monitor. If I have the original styrofoam protectors, bubble wrap and “Fragile” stickers on the box, should I worry about damage?
Your luggage limit is 50Kg, you should expect the Amtrak officials to want to check your package, once they’ve OKd you have nothing to worry about, they will probably want you to stow it in the baggage car and pick it up at your destination, put a label on it with your name, address and phone number, in the unlikely event that it gets lost, they will be able to trace you. squeaky guinea pig
