I see that Amtrak will ship it from Lorton, VA to Sanford. Anyone have any experience doing this, good or bad? Is it worth it or should I just drive it all the way to FL and be done with it? Anything that I need to be aware of? Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!

We used the Auto Train when we closed last July to bring down a car full of stuff for the house. We have an SUV and it was packed to the roof(left a little peep hole to look out the back while driving). That saved us big bucks on getting the stuff there. You can reserve seats downstairs on the train that are much more private. I think there were 12 seats total which made for a much quieter ride regarding the mass upstairs on the train. Nice large seats which fit my 6'2" 250 lb frame. We would use it again when we come down for 3 months this winter but we're bringing the cat and she rules so we're gonna have to drive
