This video is meant to document some of the operations and activities associated with the departure of Amtrak's southbound Auto Train #53 from its northern terminus in Lorton, Virginia in October 1988
...
. Included are scenes of the train leaving the terminal and heading for the RF&P Railroad mainline for the trip south to Florida. Also included are scenes of the terminal area and assembly of the train. I recommend viewing this video after viewing "Auto Train Arrival at Lorton, VA 10-19-1988" on my channel in order to better understand the sequence of activities associated with the handling of Auto Train at Lorton.
