See if this helps. While the original post was last year, at the bottom, it says it was edited June 28, 2006.

My daughter, grandsons and I took the Autotrain back from Orlando. She called their number and the person helped her a lot. Told her if she put her trip off one day the kids would ride free. Try calling instead of driving yourself crazy going through their website.

I decided to drive, after all. Only a 2 1/2 hour trip.
I still don't get the Amtrak rates. I will be making the same trip in November, and looked on the Amtrak site again, figuring this much time ahead should give the best prices. From Trenton to Baltimore is $48 - not bad... However, the return trip is $74, except for a single train about 10 PM which is $48 (without any discount codes.)

Thanks for the follow-up, BarryK.
When I'm on the east coast visiting family I use Amtrak once or twice a year so I followed your post. I check fares months and months in advance hoping for a deal but have only been able to take advantage of a 10% military discount.

Good tip, but most Amtrak promos can be found directly at Amtrak.com -- just click Deals and then Advertised Specials.
There's also a good list (including those "unadvertised" specials in the Northeast) at: http://www.railserve.com/amtrak_coupons.html
