Golf Bags as Baggage
Golf bags are permitted as carry-on baggage aboard select Midwest corridor trains for a $10 charge. Passengers planning to travel with golf bags should refer to the information below. Other restrictions may apply.
Carry-on Golf Bags
- Passengers must make carry-on golf bag reservations prior to boarding the train.
- Carry-on golf bag reservations can only be made by speaking with a reservation agent at 1-800-USA-RAIL (1-800-872-7245) or a ticket agent at an Amtrak station. Carry-on golf bag reservations cannot be made through Amtrak.com or Quik-Trak self-serve ticketing kiosks. Please note: Passengers who have previously made a reservation that includes a golf bag charge may obtain their tickets through Quik-Trak kiosks.
- A $10 charge per one-way trip is applied to each carry-on golf bag reservation, and a separate ticket will be issued. Passengers must present the golf bag ticket to the conductor with their travel ticket.
- Golf clubs must be carried in a bag or case that includes a cover that prevents the clubs from falling out. The bag, case or cover must be securely fastened by zippers or other fasteners. The passenger's name, address and phone number must be on a tag that is attached to the golf bag.
