We recently took the Amtrak Auto Train during our retirement travel adventures and it was our first retirement travel experience on the unique rail service. This Amtrak train allows passengers to transport their vehicles between Lorton, Virginia (just outside Washington, D.C.) and Sanford, Florida (near Orlando). This service, launched in 1971, primarily caters to travelers who want the convenience of having their car or motorcycle at their destination without driving the long distance themselves. The Auto Train covers approximately 855 miles, offering an overnight journey that typically lasts 16 to 18 hours. It can carry up to 650 passengers and 330 automobiles with a full train.
The Amtrak Auto Train is the longest passenger train in the world, stretching up to three-quarters of a mile long with its passenger cars, vehicle carriers, and staff quarters. It can carry up to 330 vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, SUVs, and even small boats. We thought the service offered a comfortable alternative to the rigors of a long drive, particularly for those heading to Florida for vacations, seasonal snowbirds, or other extended stays. In our companion article we review all the Amtrak Auto Train costs, schedule, and more.
Overall, we were expecting the worst on this journey based on some previous videos and reviews we had seen. We were a little shocked at how smooth everything ran, actually arrived early, the Amtrak staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and the overall experience was great. The Amtrak Coach seats were nice, but we do think the Amtrak bedroom sleeper is the best way to go for this trip, but we still had a good trip on the Amtrak roomette. We look forward to taking more Amtrak trains in the future.
