Save Big on Your Little Ones All Summer
More space, more fun and now more affordable — Auto Train was made for both the kids raring to go and the parents who need to keep up with them.
From now through Sept. 6, kids ride FREE on the Auto Train in both Coach and First Class with the purchase of one adult rail fare. With no need to stop for gas, traffic or bathroom breaks, enjoy a smooth nonstop ride between Lorton, VA (near Washington, DC) and Sanford, FL (near Orlando). We’ll take care of the rest.
Big bonus: Store your luggage, beach chairs, pool toys, stuffed animals and everything else your family needs right in your car. Pack it up, load it up, then board the train to play games, watch movies or point out the passing scenery.
