Has Anyone Shipped a car by rail ?

I have driven several times cars between cities for an agency. Drive away cars in TO, I believe.
Back then they told me it could take several months to ship because they need to fill the train box car or shipping container.
A trailer - like that one you see delivering auto to dealerships can also take several months. Like 3 months actually.
3 months seems to be the standard wait to transport. I know a family that moved to Australia and they had to wait three months. And also the return. Don't believe it could be done in a month or less.
The way it worked for me .. after I learned from a travelling guy who used the agency many times,,,, is the agency hoped a guy like me would call them and ask them what's the next car that needs to go or come back.
I am nice guy so I took care of the car.
PM and we can arrange something together by the agency so we feel safe.

The Drive from T.O. to Vancouver is actually very beautiful. If you have a 2 or 3 drivers you can probably knock it out in 3 days.
There are a bunch of companies that will drive your vehicle for you. Would be easier as far as timeline goes, most will pickup at your location and drop where you want.
They should quote a price PLUS fuel (so you pay the gas bills on the way but everything else is included)

Wow 1970's or 80's, nice.
To bad you didn't take enough pictures to compare to today settings or scenery.
