Coach or Bedroom/Roomette. It does make a difference

i took the auto train in 03/11 Bring a selection of DVD's your DVD player or laptop computer There is no wifi on the train so bring your own wireless internet connection if you have one it works if your in coach ear plugs are a must as well as a pillow and something to cover your eyes for sleep There is a shower and plenty of water closets but they are small as airplane size bathrooms stock up on your own snacks bring the items that you will need to take aboard the train, such as a change of clothes and overnight needs Pack wisely Remember that once you leave your large bags in the vehicle you have no way to get back to your car for forgotten items

I agree. We need to know that to make suggestions.

We go coach most of the time but are on regular Amtrak (same type of deal) and here's our list for the ride down.... We bring a lunch ( sandwiches, snacks and drinks), Kindle or reading material, portable DVD player and movies ( plus earphones and splitter), iPods, Gameboy DS, small flannel blankets, earplugs, eye mask, puzzle books... That's basically the gist of our junk to occupy us..

Plus any medication needed for the duration of the trip...

Lots of patienceThe one-and only- time we took the Autotrain, our coach car was filled with lots of kids..most who were up all night...and we got delayed by 9 hours Good luck.

Geez, they don't make enough Prozac to deal with that.
