The Cars Ride In Here


 If you live somewhere along the East Coast, you have the option of taking Amtrak’s Auto Train to or from Florida. A train goes in each direction once a day. Instead of the endless highway that is I-95, passengers doze overnight in seats or roomettes then wake to find themselves in either Sanford, Florida or Lorton, Virginia. Children love to watch the automobiles being driven up the ramps into auto cars that get hooked to the back of the passenger train. Just remember to take that special stuffed animal or blankie out of the family car, or it will have to ride in darkness until everyone reaches their destination.
