Amtrak is now offering off-peak and excursion fares on its Auto-Train.  The
announcement of these new fares came at a display of the Auto-Train equipment
in Miami.  From 3/1/85 to 6/15/85, off-peak fares for southbound travel is $65
for an adult, $49 for a child, and $99 for an auto.  Northbound the fares are
$97, $73, and $150.

Effective March 1 until further notice, a 30-day round-trip excursion fare of
$156, $97, and $239 is available.

Sleeping accomodations in either direction are $225 for a bedroom for two, or
$100 for a roomette for one.  This includes the standard Florida First Class
amenities of a hospitality basket, stationary, a bedtime sweet, and a
shoeshine, as well as the free buffet dinner with wine, breakfast, snacks, and
movies included in all fares.  All passengers have access to the Vista-dome
cars.

Auto train has had an 83% on-time record.
