    Auto Train both directions has been cancelled for Friday December 2/22. I guess this is to allow the delayed trains to catch up and be on schedule for Saturday December 3/22

    Book as soon as you know your travel plans, Keep checking prices and if it drops call Amtrak and ask for a price adjustment. They will either credit your credit card or issue you an E-credit for the difference. I do that all the time.

    Auto Train information/help requested

    If you do not have to be at your destination in a hurry, I would not bother with the priority off load. The roomettes are very narrow bunk beds about 30" wide. If close confined areas bother you, the roomette is not for you. The top bunk your nose practically touches the curved ceiling.
