I don't know the answer, but perhaps you need to clarify what you mean
by "takes bikes."

Any Amtrak train allows bikes under two conditions:
1. The bike is boxed.
2. The station where you are leaving and arriving has luggage service.
(Some small stations only allow luggage that can be stored in the
passenger area, so that limits the size of the object you can bring on
the train.)

Obviously, # 2 isn't a problem in Chicago, Milwaukee, or the Twin
Cities. However, you may not want to box your bike.

Maybe what you are asking is, "Does the Hiawatha have roll-on/roll-off
service?" or will they take unboxed bikes?
