Unless you request and pay for priority service it is totally random when your car comes off, as well as the number you get on your car. I was fifth on line and one of the last off. Love your vid.

Liked your video. We are going down in October. Usually we drive all the way but we decided to try the train this year. I am not a tightwad but I check the room price an I don’t fill it’s worth it. But will know for sure in October. Former Ma. Resident now resident of Florida, still visit the kids in the summer.

As a Senior who's 6"3" with a wife who's 6'2" claustrophobic, acrophobic, & a germaphobe, it's necessary for me to reserve 2 adjoining his & her bedrooms. It's pricey, but everyone's happy & uninjured at the end of the line. We've been riding trains for many years & found this arrangement to be the only one that works. Nice video.

Not great. Depends on how crowded the train is. You can move around to another seat and have the whole thing to yourself if the train isn't crowded. It's worth it to me tho to avoid I95!

It will be much cheaper in coach and honestly the leg room is so good that you'll sleep better than you think as long as you dress right (be able to warm up or cool down as needed by wearing loose clothing and bringing a jacket. Wear loose fitting clothes). Bring a small cooler or lunch bag with food and snacks. Load some TV shows to your iPad. For me the hardest part was waiting around for the train to board!! Once it was actually time to get ON the train it went by pretty fast. People in my car were already sleeping at 8pm. 🤣 I stayed awake until 11pm because I wanted to try to actually sleep through the whole night and stay on my normal schedule.

@@italianrick1985 did you already take your trip? If not I wanted to add something - for some reason I feel like my lower back doesn't get much support in the seat for some reason. On my second trip (today) -home from fl- I sat next to a woman and she had rolled up a bath towel and placed it behind her lower back. That's when I realized..it isn't just me! My parents and husband did not notice the same issue, so I'm not sure exactly what seems to cause it. Anyway if either of you are likely to have lower back trouble, take a bath towel to roll up. I'll be doing that next time.

Worse experience of my 71 years on this earth. Starting my morning, I had to get up real early living north of Boston, almost 500 hundred miles, mad it in great time, arrived at 12:30 pm which you think would put us in great shape coming off the train in Sanford . We choose coach, not paying almost a thousand dollars to stay in mini-room.I digress, in my days running double trailers in snow storms from Boston to Buffalo l had to put my right tire on the rumble stripe to keep awake an stay in the road(6 to 8 inches of snow on the road. That’s what the ride felt like on the auto-train. Between the , I cannot sleep so I’ll keep everybody else awake talking out loud. Every now an then someone would get up an politely tell them to shut up? Finally reached Sanford. The cars are loaded where they drive them in then drive them out at least that seemed to be the case unless you pay priority ($75 extra) you get off first. Keeping in mind we are in line 4.5 hours early. 1 and a 1/2 hour later my car finally came of. Got to my home in Ocala around 2:30 pm. My old way of doing things , I leave my house , north of Boston 3 hours later ( extra sleep) layover in NC ( hotel) get a good nights sleep and be at my home in Ocala around 3:00 pm. For me, it’s one an done.
