In fiscal year 2019, Auto Train transported around 236,000 passengers, and by fiscal year 2022, that had increased to around 279,000.Every day, a train each leaves Lorton, Virginia, and Sanford, Florida at 5pm and arrives in the other city at 10am. The train only stops once overnight to switch out the engineering crew.

Coach and roomettes share bathrooms and a shower with others in that passenger carriage. Bedrooms contain their own bathroom and shower.I first took the Auto Train when I relocated from Miami to D.C. during the pandemic in 2020. It's been a winter trip every year since. I love not driving the 13–18 total hours on 1-95 from D.C. to Florida — and watching the beautiful landscape across some of our journey.
