Wife and I use the auto train often
As a retired Amtraker we ride the auto train often. It's not a bad trip at all, however.... In the world of covid the diner cars are not available at least not to coach passengers, not sure about sleeping car passengers since they don't let me ride there. Breakfast is a "grab and go" and is included. Dinner is available in a cafe car but it's rather pricey. We pack sandwiches.
There is no predictable relationship between when your car is loaded and when it is unloaded as they separate the car carriers differently at the two locations. the only way to guarantee getting your car early is to pay extra for a priority spot.
Enjoy the journey.
