Auto Train - The Relaxing "Drive" To Florida

Karen Kruschka - Fairfax Prince William  Stafford County VA Real Estate Service: Real Estate Agent in Springfield, VA

Car In Florida







The trip starts every day at 4:00 PM when the Auto Train departs from the Lorton Auto Train Terminal on a non-stop trip to Florida. A location outside Washington was necessary since the auto carriers will not fit in the Washington, DC railway tunnels. The service has been operating at this location since 1971.

From the time you turn your car over to the attendant, enter the terminal, board the train to your assigned seat and the deisel locomotive pulls away from the station the sense of anticipation escalates.

You know your car, van, motorcycle, SUV, small boat, jet ski or other recreational vehicles are tucked safely away in the auto carriers that are part of the train assembly.

Meanwhile, you can sit back in your coach seat, bedroom or roomette, relax, read, enjoy the scenery, visit with friends or other passengers in the Lounge Car, watch a movie or "just plain do nothing". Special accommodations can be made for families with small children or passengers with special needs.

Meals are included in the price of all Auto Train tickets. A freshly prepared dinner is served including regional wines, vegetarian dishes or special meals for the kids.

In the morning a complimentary continental breakfast is served. In 17 and one half hours you will arrive in Sanford, Florida near Orlando - you and your car , like you, will be refreshed and ready to tour sunny Florida.
