Call the main Amtrak Express number at 1-800-368-TRAK and see if the local guy is just making this up. Back before they changed to their new web site (and took off all of the detailed shipping terms and conditions), there was a section on the shipping of musical instruments- these were an exception to the weight rules in the past. When I shipped a tuba from Newark, NJ, I mentioned this to the folks and they assured me that it was true- musical instruments were a special category and got favorable rates and handling.

Good luck!
