Annual Black Friday Auto Train Sale has started today. Coach seating $39.00 per person instead of $95.00 There are some blackout dates, but I am going January 25th southbound and got a $56.00 credit for my trip.

I did not think pets were allowed on the Auto Train. I assume they were service animals. I have taken the train for 16 years now and never have seen a pet aboard.
