Amtrak Auto Train Loads and Leaves Lorton, Virginia | Northern Virginia Railfan

I spent a day with my grandfather railfanning the Amtrak Auto Train yard in Lorton, Virginia. The train travels up and down the I-95 corridor, passing on CSX railroad mainline track most of the journey, through places like Folkston, GA

One day I will film part 2: The riding experience!
