My friend and I also used Amtrak from Kirkwood to Sedelia. It was a great experience! The volunteers were friendly and helpful. We got there early and locked up our bikes outside till minutes before the trail arrived. We got in line when the train stopped carrying our panniers and pushing our bikes. The train staff were also experienced and quickly told us which train to load our bikes and were able to sit by them. They did not help load or unload though but we did not need help. It took us each two trips, one for the bike and one for the panniers to get onboard. In Sedelia, the train staff had questions for us about where we were going, total miles, miles per day, etc. Very interested. Of course they may have thought we were crazy also. LOL.
