What is the Auto Train?
The Auto Train lets you and your vehicle travel together. You can bring it along whether you’re driving a car, motorcycle, SUV, or even a small trailer. This is great for people who want to avoid driving long distances but still want to have their vehicle when they arrive. The trip is about 900 miles and takes around 17 hours, with most of the journey happening overnight. Once you reach your destination, your vehicle will be waiting for you, so you can hop in and continue your trip. This makes it perfect for going on vacation, heading to Florida for the winter, or simply avoiding the long drive. The train travels every day, taking passengers and their vehicles from Lorton to Sanford, and vice versa. It’s a stress-free way to travel, with no need to worry about traffic, gas, or overnight hotel stops.
Where Do You Board the Auto Train? The Auto Train has two stations:
At both stations, you’ll check in your vehicle with Amtrak staff, and they’ll load it onto a special car carrier. You can relax knowing your car will be safely transported with you.

How Does the Auto Train Handle Your Car?
One of the key features of the Auto Train is its ability to transport your car or motorcycle. Here’s how it works:

When you arrive at the station, you’ll drive your car to a check-in area. Amtrak staff will take it from there and load it onto the train’s car carrier. This part is fast and easy. For more details connect with us!
2. Unloading
After the train reaches its destination, Amtrak staff unload the cars. This can take some time, especially if the train is full, but there’s a waiting area where you can relax until your vehicle is ready.
