Neat.Who drives the car into the carrier? In a more perfect world , wouldn't it be nice if you could send your kids off to a distant college in a train like this. Say to ,and from Gotham to, and from the Upstate NY campuses during inclement weather months. |

I've enjoyed the auto train the two times I've used it. I was thinking about riding it one way this summer. Now that they take motorcycles, I wonder who rides the bikes onto the train. Did you happen to see any put on board? |

I passed through both Sanford and Alexandria this weekend, driving back from FL. I saw the terminal in Virginia from I-95, but was probably driving at 75mph so I didn't really dwell on it. |

Motorcycles are driven onto a special platform on wheels. Their front wheel is lifted into a curved slot, the bikes are tied down (3 per platform). A tractor tows the platform into the auto carrier and removes the platform at the other end. |

My folks are buried in Palm Beach County and I find it very convenient to have my car with me and it's only a 2 hr + ride and also going to Disney World it's 50 miles from there. The new waiting room/ticket office is great. AC and WiFi now and it's hell of allot better than what they had. It was built with stimulus money and was money well spent. Very nice pictures. |
