Auto-Train etc to resume on Monday?
Author: Lackawanna484

Amtrak is showing availability for the Auto-Train southbound from Lorton on Monday. Much to my surprise, there are sleeper spaces available. No service Sunday.

Train 52 will also begin service, northbound, on Monday. Looks like an extremely light load. Bucket 1 coach fares are available, bedrooms are available, even priority off loading.

The Amtrak site shows that the Auto Train will resume on Sunday, September 17th with train 53 southbound from Lorton, and Monday, September 18th train 52 northbound..

They must have updated in the last few hours, I checked it around noon today.

Good news!

(Are both sets of equipment on the north end?)

Happy about this (as confirmed on AMTRAK.com) ... have a long-standing reservation on 53 on Monday, Sept 18 - heading home to Key West after being away about 3.5 months. And it now appears that the road into Key West will be open by then. YAY!

Well, having electric power at the terminal would be nice. Florida Power and Light has had a major job in trying to restore power all across the state!
