Re: Auto Train
We took the autotrain this year (March 2008) mostly because I'm a nervous (husband says bad) passenger. I had seen the sleepers and didn't think I could do the MRI-like space so we opted for coach. We found the dining car a pleasant surprise and the reclining coach seats as expected -- my husband slept and I didn't. Families were seated together so we were with mostly couples like ourselves (young! very very young!).
Not sure what we will do this year when we come down. We have sons in both Baltimore and DC that make easy stop-overs to and from Syracuse. The trade off for me is 2-3 days in a car vs getting the agony it over in 17 hours. My husband is in favor of shooting me with a tranquilizer gun and flipping a coin.
