FYI- Caps are considered shouting on the internet.
As for luggage, it really depends on what type of train you are traveling on. The faster AV trains will have two luggage storage areas in 2nd class cars (sometimes more), overhead storage for smaller bags and space you can slide a case in behind your seat. You should be more concerned with getting on and off the trains with that much luggage. Some trains only stop for 1-2 minutes. You have to be ready to get off or on with your luggage. If you are getting on, you have to allow people off before you can start to board and the trains don't wait around because you have overpacked. Try carrying your packed bags up a staircase fast before you decide to take that much.
You can see some of the overhead and behind seat area for this AV train 2nd class on this picture.

Amen to that!
Not only are there stairs you must climb rather quickly, the stairs are steeper/taller than normal stairs. There are no train attendants, so you're on your own getting aboard.
