When I booked it said no checked baggage in ATL, Amtrak's phone number confirmed, and yet the train was doing checked baggage both from ATL and to ATL. Should be no problem.

What apparently happened is that the city of Atlanta's water main outside the station broke and flooded the elevator shaft putting elevator out of service. Baggage will return one elevator is fixed.That can't be the water main break that affected the station. That building is on Georgia Tech's campus here: https://goo.gl/maps/2TswWPmncagya1wj8 The Amtrak station is ~1.58 miles away here: https://goo.gl/maps/1EYwWTPg614dPZ9w5 If a single water main break affected both, then the entire city would be under water Noah's ark style.
I suppose that the JULY 1 date is a probable date ? Wonder if the water flooded the NS tracks and caused any damage to them ?
Here is very short news that has the water main break showing picture very near the Atlanta station dated May 27.
