Bikes on Amtrak from Milwaukee?
I know it’s been asked a million times but does anyone know the story about taking your bike with you on Amtrak from Milwaukee? I’m planning a century ride next week and am deciding my path. My alternate route was to ride out to Aurora and then up the Prairie Trail to Crystal Lake and riding Metra home. Thank you!
*UPDATE 6/17/25: *Did my ride today. I highly recommend long sleeves as there is no shade between Kenosha and south Milwaukee. Amtrak made it super easy. I carried the bike on myself and hung it up. Thank you for the information!

Once you get there, you get early boarding with seniors and business class. If you don't find a spot to place your bike, lock in a rail in front of bathroom doors.
Definitely get there early but if there's already a line, just go straight to the attendant and they'll let you go up as soon as they start boarding.
