Auto train?

Question

i would like to travel with my suv to california,how does auto train work,also can i get a sleeper compartment for one person,will this be a better way due to gas prices.

Answer 1

Amtrak auto train only operates on the East Coast

from Lorton VA to Sanford Florida

thats the only auto train

however you could still travel to California and have your

SUV shipped separately by some automobile carriers

(some drive your SUV others put your car on a car carrier and

deliver to you that way

yes take Amtrak is a great way to see this country, and yes

you can get a sleeper (thats in addition to the fare

but it includes all your meals  aboard the train.)

have fun

Answer 2

i love public transport.

Answer 3

The auto train runs only on the east coast.

If you can afford it, a sleeper is definitely the way to go.  The prices are high however, and for what it will cost to take the train would pay for a whole lot more gasoline than what you'd spend driving cross country.

Still, train travel is relaxing, for the most part, and a good way to see the country while traveling.
