There are sleeper cars and restaurant/ food available. It will cover a nice portion of your trip.
When traveling to FL w my cats, (7 hrs) I used a calming spray on a towel in the cages. Half the trip they were out of the cages but pretty much just chilled. All the best to you on your journey

There are NO PETS allowed on the AutoTrain, under any circumstances.

Service Animals are allowed per Federal Regulations.
