I am going to take the train from Prague to Budapest in about 2 weeks. Do you know of any restrictions on luggage? I couldn't find ANY information about this on Rail Europe site. Q's : Am I allowed to carry one suitcase plus a carry on (as if by airplane) ? Do I have to check (the non-carry on) suitcase at a counter? (as if by airplane) Must I go thru x-ray check point? and what about customs at arrival? ( I am assuming not for the last as they are both Euro-Union Countries but I need to know so to plan, how much time in advance I need to be at the Station for departure and to prepare my pick up/ride, as he needs exact time I be at curb. Being that I do not speak either native languages.
ANY info is appreciated.

You carry all your luggage to the stairs of the train and climb on. There is no checking of luggage or restrictions of any kind. Generally the platform number is not posted more than 30 minutes before arrival/departure so no reason to be earlier than 30 minutes. No security, no check in, etc.
