I have read a few thread on taking Amtrak from Tuscaloosa.

Perhaps I can get a little more clarification or opinions?

We have taken Amtrak’s auto train to FL twice and thorougly enjoyed the trip. DH, who has no patience for travel, really enjoyed it. I guess we just like trains, so I don’t think DS would mind it all that much coming home for Xmas.

Would he have a problem getting to the station in Tuscaloosa? Would he need to book far in advance?

We were looking at two stations for pick up. One would be in Manassas, which is about a 4 hour drive for us. Also Philly, but with the Expressway delays, it usally take us about 3+ hours to get home. So in many ways, the Manassas stop would be less travel time for him.

I think if there were an absolute emergency, he could always fly, but looking at other options.
