Hello fellow IRIans. If details of train travel in the United States intrigues you by any magnitude, you may want to follow this blog as I plan to bring about live updates of my maiden train journey aboard the Amtrak (AMerica-TRAcK) this week.
I'd start off in the town of Cincinnati, Ohio on the 9th of December, 01:40 local time (9th Dec 12:10 hrs IST) on board Cardinal #51. This train runs between New York and Chicago (via Washington DC, Cincinnati and Indianapolis). The scheduled arrival of the Cardinal at Chicago will be 10:00 hrs on the same day (21:30 hrs IST).

Well yeah, you can check up to two bags all the way to your final destination and you get paper tickets at the first station similar to boarding passes. A train conductor scans the tickets on board through a hand-held device. Failure to get your tickets scanned in time will result in you receiving an auto-generated e-mail and text message informing you that your ticket and all the connecting legs have been cancelled.
For a station with limited facilities, there's little scanning of baggage. Also if you're travelling to an un-staffed station, you cannot check the baggage in.
