Amtrak San Antonio Oakland recent customer reviews
the train from San Antonio to Los Angles had no checked luggage options available. I had to drag my two bags up steep stairs to the upper level and almost fell! I had to store one of my bags under my feet the whole way. There was room available in the downstairs sitting area but it was locked
