Considering that AutoTrain is Amtrak's most profitable service, I never have understood why they don't add another route from the northeast. Folks in New York/New Jersey (and points north) still have to drive at least 250-300 miles, pay all those tolls, sit through megalopolis traffic, etc just to reach Lorton. Amtrak owns the rails between New York and DC -- put them to better use than over budget and failure prone tilting trains that only shave half an hour off conventional travel times.
