Amtrak's Auto Train (DVD)

Traveling between the Washington D.C. suburb of Lorton, Virginia, and Sanford, Florida, the Auto Train offers vacationers a comfortable alternative to a long road trip.

Pentrex explores the Auto Train's entire operation from loading to unloading. You'll watch as vehicles are placed aboard special carriers, and see how this long train is assembled. Once underway, you'll ride with the crew aboard the lead locomotive and learn what makes this special train so unusual. You'll also view the train from trackside, and will tour the interiors of many of the cars in this consist.

By the time the passengers are waking up and breakfasting in the full length domed dining car, the train has crossed into Florida and is sprinting toward Sanford. You'll see the train being separated and the vehicles unloaded at the end of a fascinating journey. Come with Pentrex and discover why passengers return year after year to ride Amtrak's Auto Train!
