I went on the Amtrak website to see if there were any discounts and I saw that starting this summer smoking is no longer allowed anywhere on the train.
Here is the message:
Auto Train: No Smoking Policy Begins Aboard Auto Train
Effective June 1, 2013
To provide a healthier environment on the train for passengers and employees, smoking will not be permitted aboard the Auto Train effective June 1, 2013. Smoking will be prohibited in all areas of the train including the Lounge car, Food Service car and Coach and Sleeping cars.
This policy also prohibits the use of medical marijuana and electronic smoking devices such as electronic cigarettes aboard the train. Contact Amtrak for more information on the Smoking Policy.
Smoking Stop at Florence, SC
Passengers will be permitted to get off the train and smoke in Florence, SC, when the train stops for servicing. Florence is not an Auto Train station stop, so passengers aboard Trains 52 and 53 cannot board or detrain at this location. The scheduled smoking stop times at Florence are listed below:
- Northbound Train 52: From approximately 12:30 am until 12:45 am.
- Southbound Train 53: From approximately 11:45 pm until 11:59 pm. Passengers should remain in the immediate area of the train, ready to reboard immediately upon hearing the sound of the locomotive horn and/or verbal boarding calls from members of the train crew. Smoking stops may be shortened or eliminated entirely if the train is operating late.
