Amtrak Auto Train
“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.” – Amtrak

In this video, JOM of the Gravel Cyclist crew takes the Amtrak Auto Train with his Chrysler Pacifica Minivan, for the journey from Lorton, Virginia to Sanford, Florida. JOM paid for a Roomette, a private room option, perfect for one person, or a couple. This qualifies as a “First Class” experience with Amtrak.

“For customers seeking both privacy and savings in First Class, Roomettes feature two comfortable seats by day transformed to upper and lower beds by night. Each room includes a big picture window, newly upgraded bedding, pillows, towels and linens and access to a restroom and shower down the hall.”
