Default Amtrak AutoTrain questions

We will probably be giving a car to one of our sons.
Question re the AutoTrain - potentially bring it to them this way, seems economical.

One son lives in NH, other in CA. In checking on the Amtrak site, appears that the only route is Sanford FL to VA. Is this correct?

If your son does not want to drive the vehicle back to their location, there are companies that transport cars. There have been several threads about them, if possible you want to deal with the actual truck driver (or company) and NOT a broker.

Amtrack is unreliable, uncomfortable, and expensive. Auto shipper may be an economical alternative.
