And I would add: "And hold off on confiscating bikes not on racks until sufficient 
parking is installed!"

Dear Mr. Madera,

Thank you for your inquiry.  Amtrak will be installing additional bicycle racks at 
Philadelphia by September.  We do not have the exact date, however, I was told it will 
be installed by early September.  They will be placed at various points around the 
station for your convenience.  

Sincerely,

Amtrak Customer Service

TRACKING NUMBER: A00000003323-00000013720

Message: I have heard that effective today, Amtrak will confiscate bicycles locked to 
anything but the few bike racks provided at 30th Street Station, Philadelphia.  These 
racks, in addition to being difficult to use, are almost always full--thereby forcing 
one to lock to sign posts and parking meters (in unsheltered locations, to boot!).  
Please be considerate of your customers who wish to get to the station by bike.  
Increase your bicycle parking capacity at 30th Street!
