Traveling on the Amtrak Auto Train
I cut down the number of hours I had to drive from Florida to New Jersey by taking the Amtrak Auto Train from Sanford, Florida to Lorton Virginia. I enjoy taking the train except for the fact that it’s very expensive, especially during the Christmas Season. Have you ever traveled on the Auto Train?
