I’ll have to find some pretext to check that out. It sounds impossible. Wife and I recently took the Auto Train from Sanford, FL to Lorton, VA. The accomodations onboard were OK, but the trackage was so rough and bad and jarring, I swore they’d never get me on it again.

The Auto Train runs on CSX track, and the max speed is 79 mph. CSX is not known for its track quality. I once took the Cardinal, and in Indiana it uses the old Monon right of way where the tracks are jointed rail and almost jarred my teeth out.
