The Auto Train is Amtrak's route for snowbirds: an overnight train from Virginia to Florida, where your car rides with you. I'm not a snowbird, but my wife and I took the train for our vacation. Here are my thoughts on the trip, along with some information that I would have liked to know before the trip.
