We took the autotrain when we moved here two years ago and enjoyed the experience. Private roomettes are availble, for an extra fee, which are equipped with bathrooms, showers and beds and are very quiet. Otherwise, the trip would be like riding on a regular railroad coach car. As I recall, the train leaves VA at 3 or 4pm and arrives at Sanford, FL mid-morning on the following day. Really quite "civilized". It beats driving the endless miles on Interstate 95.
