You'll find luggage lockers inside the baggage claim room, plus more in the corridor right outside it.
If you're traveling first class, you can also leave your stuff inside the Metropolitan Lounge. However, it will be somewhat "accessible" (i.e. not safely locked away). Since the lounge is open to anyone who feels like wandering in -- and out again -- I always opt for the lockers.

they have some lockers not many. they have a room off of the baggage pickup area that you can store things for a small fee. if you are a sleeping car passenger you can store them in the met lounge.

Luggage for first class passengers is stored in a locked room next to the water fountains just south of the metropolitan lounge. As others have said, lockers are available near the baggage claim area and in the south Amtrak waiting area.

Have they really begun locking up baggage in the Metropolitan Lounge? If so, it's about time.
When I last passed through, the staff was completely indifferent to the fact that passengers' "left luggage" was within relatively easy reach of anyone who took a fancy to it.

When I last passed through Chicago (about five months ago)they were locking up the luggage and giving the first-class passenger a baggage check. This is not in the Metropolitan lounge but in a room just down the hall. In times past I would never trust them to look after my bags because they were not in a secure location, but now I can avoid those expensive lockers.

Most people are challenged when they enter the Met lounge. The "room down the hall" was, I was led to believe, an overflow for when the main luggage area in the Met lounge itself gets full. However, neither is perfectly safe - but then neither is a locker. Just take your most valuable possessions with you.

So that little room to the right of the check-in desk is no longer used for luggage then? Most recent time I was in the Met lounge was in October last year and it was used then.
