- At the beginning of June, I took a trip to Washington D.C. and was able to convince my parents to purchase a bedroom suite on the Auto Train. Here is the footage I recorded of me walking through the train the morning of arrival in Sanford (June 9).

Thank you for this video!
I can't tell you how much I appreciate that video! We leave on the 52 train (SAN>LOR) on Monday. This will be our 11th trip but the last 4 were 2020 to 2022 and even the 2022 trip they weren't using the dining car due to staffing issues. I've been trying to find out if dinner for sleeper passengers is back in the dining car and your video showed the tables set, so I got my question answered! Also, I've never walked the whole train so this was interesting. Thanks again!!
Of course! I created this video _because_ I''ve never seen anyone do a full walkthrough of the train, and I had been curious for a while prior. And yes, sleeping car passengers had full access to the dining car for dinner and breakfast, and it was wonderful. Enjoy your trip!
@@Seaboarder3023 Do you remember if they were doing 5, 7 & 9PM dinner seatings?
@@rogerstarr1466 If I remember correctly, it was 6:30 and 8 for the dinner seatings; they only had two for some reason.
Aw they dont have those sightseer observation cars with the domed windows on the ceiling. Bummer.
Yeah, unfortunately the Auto Train hasn’t had a Sightseer Lounge since 2019.
Thank you the video walkthrough. One question - your northbound train (52) to Lorton, were the sleeper cars at the end of the train (before the car carriers), or at the front of the train (behind the diesels)?
I believe on train 52, the sleepers are at the front of the train due to the fact there isn’t anywhere to turn the consist around at Lorton or Sanford.
Is there an Adults Only Sleeper car ?
Nope, all private rooms are fair game, so depending on the party occupying a certain room, there could be kids or maybe not.
Looks a bit like the hogwarts express
You are going too fast, you need to show everything not just passing by. Next time, go SLOW
