However, there is a report that the consists of 79 and 80 will be shortened to three cars starting Monday. I don't whether the three includes or excludes the baggage car.

Yes.  Should be three coaches and the cafe.  No business or baggage cars.

My family is currently scheduled to take the Carolinian #80 in three-weeks from DC to Charlotte. Recevied an email and voicemail from Amtrak yesterday notifiying us no checked baggage for the train now. Only carry-ons. So makes sense that no baggage car will be included in the consist now. We'll likely be rescheduling our trip to a later date regardless.

79/80 are indeed just three cars, two coaches and a cafe.
