There is no checked baggage service. You'll need to lug it all on by yourself unless a helpful stranger assists. Amtrak typically has more room for luggage than Metrolink does, although some Metrolink cars do have racks for luggage downstairs. On the platform there is one cantankerous machine for tickets, which sometimes refuses to read credit cards (especially when it's raining out).
