If you go coach it is only $100 per person but I would recommend getting a sleeper car.

My wife and I are taking the train down in March for our closing and bringing two cars on the train; one of which will remain in FL. The total cost for the trip is $853 for both cars and we have a bedroom with bathroom.

What a great idea! A bit of an adventure too. Welcome to the Villages
