I’ve done it once from Charlottesville to Culpeper in 2021. It was an upright wheel hook in the regular passenger car. The saddle protrudes out into the walkway a bit. I remember it wasn’t clear on the website when I bought the ticket for me. It was supposed to be $25 for the bike, about as much as the ticket for me, but there was no internet service when I tried to ay en route and the conductor let me slide. They are much more accustomed to and prepared for bikes on trains out West.
