I have taken a couple trips to Philmont by train during the eighties and nineties. It is a great way to travel, but Amtrack is not very good for staying on a timetable. I tell people it is a great way to travel if you are not on a timetable.
The last two times I went to Philmont we droves vans and did some site seeing along the way. (from Minnesota)

the train. Our question is what do we do with our
packs? Do we need to put them in duffel bag or
something similar? Will they be safe in the baggage car?
