Amtrak Auto Train 2024: Roomette Sleeper - Sanford, FL to Lorton, VA

Amtrak Auto Train Experience - https://www.amtrak.com/auto-train-exp...

"Take Your Vehicle on a Road Trip. Leave the Driving Behind. Bumper to bumper traffic on I-95. Endless road. Wear and tear on your engine. Your next vacation shouldn’t come with the baggage of a road trip. The Auto Train will take you and your vehicle nonstop between Lorton, Virginia near Washington, DC and Sanford, Florida near Orlando."

In this video, JOM of the Gravel Cyclist crew takes the Amtrak Auto Train with his Chrysler Pacifica Minivan, for the journey from Sanford, Florida, to Lorton, Virginia. JOM paid for a Private Room, namely the Roomette, which is perfect for one person, or a couple. This qualifies as a "First Class" experience with Amtrak.
