Auto Train Offers An Alternative to Driving to Florida

LORTON, Va. - The Auto Train is one of the region's most unique forms of transportation, combining mass transit and America's love of the automobile.

WTOP's Hank Silverberg recently hopped on board what's billed as the longest passenger train in the world, taking the non-stop trip from Lorton, Va. to Sanford, Fla., the gateway to the big theme parks in nearby Orlando.

With the price of gas topping $3.40 a gallon and security hassles at the airport, the Auto Train   is going strong, and taking it can be more fun, if you are not a light sleeper.
