Absolutely! But even Amtrak management does not know what they will order. As stated elsewhere until Amtrak's prime directive is changed from reducing costs at the expense of service, reliable equipment, capacity, providing proper OBS, etc there will be no change.Of course regarding the purchases in item 2 we don't know at this time what the composition of the new hypothetical order would be. So we don't know what the number of Sleepers, Coaches, Diners, Lounges and of course Baggage Cars might be.
They already do. 99% of NEC trains have no checked baggage.It also doesn't really change the core matter that the majority of people just aren't carrying enough baggage or checking it. You could probably get away with no baggage at all on most trains off the NEC.
