They have comfortable carriages, with large windows, on-board snacks/drinks service and toilets. The seat locations are automatically assigned by the train company when  the tickets are purchased, there is no way we can choose or change seats. Although as you board the train, the onboard staff will listen to any requests to change seats for any reasonable motive. When boarding the train, you may be asked to show your passport as identification, which the train staff will check against the name shown on your ticket.

Most travellers only spend one or two days at Machu picchu, so there is no reason to take take all your luggage. Also, restricted space in the carriages means that the train companies have a luggage policy limiting carry-on items to just small hand luggage no larger than 157cm/61" (height + length + width) and 5.0 kg/11 lb in weight. Most travellers take bags which they have used as hand luggage on flights. Apart from the bag allowances, passengers can take a small handbag or camera case. All other belongings can be stored at hotels in Cusco or the Sacred Valley.
