For travelers looking to hit the rails, Amtrak
is offering a limited-time Auto Train sale that will help people avoid nearly
900 miles of driving on I-95.
The rail company is offering fares as low as $39 for adults
and $19.50 for children on the Auto Train, plus the cost of a vehicle. Savings options
are also available for travel in private rooms aboard Amtrak trains.
The discounted pricing can be booked between Tuesday,
February 11, and Thursday, February 20, for travel between Sanford, Florida,
and Lorton, Virginia, from Wednesday, February 12, through Thursday, March 20.
The deal also applies to Lorton to Sanford trips between Monday,
February 17, and Thursday, July 31. The discount is applied to tickets
purchased in Coach Class, Roomette, Bedroom, and Accessible Rooms.
A one-day advance purchase is required, and terms and
conditions apply.
Earlier this month, Amtrak announced enhancements
to the Auto Train, including modernized interiors for the Coach, Dining,
Sleeping cars and Sightseer Lounges, as well as new seating cushions and
upholstery, carpet, LED lighting, tables and curtains.
The company is also looking to help travelers avoid rush
hour when traveling to the station, so the rail company adjusted its Auto Train
schedule by offering an earlier departure time.
