You will start out by heading north from the city of Orlando, then you'll turn east to head toward the Florida coast and enjoy views of the Atlantic Ocean. As you depart Orlando, you will pass right by the west coast of Lake Monroe and Deep Creek Preserve. As you enter the city of Daytona Beach, you will begin your journey to the north along the coast of Florida to the town of Saint Augustine, where you will make a turn to the west and straddle the St. Johns River as you make your entry into the train station in Jacksonville.
Amtrak provides all of the trains to Jacksonville from Orlando aboard their Silver Meteor service. If you would like to bring a pet on Orlando to Jacksonville trains, you are permitted to bring either a dog or a cat with you. However, the combination of both the pet and the carrier must not exceed 20 lbs, and pets can only travel for up to seven hours on this route. Since this particular trip takes far less than seven hours, traveling with your pet on this train route is no problem. Amtrak asks that your pet be at least eight weeks old, and it may not cause a disturbance to other passengers on the train. You will also need to certify that your pet is completely up-to-date on all of its vaccinations, and you will need to sign a pet release document when you check in for your train in Orlando.
When passengers ride on trains from Orlando to Jacksonville aboard Amtrak, they can bring two personal items and two carry-on items aboard the train and store them above their seats or under the seat in front of them.

You may also bring bulky and oversized items onboard the train, including bicycles and other sporting equipment such as golf bags, although these may incur additional fees.
