>I do not believe that the private railroads want the business that you >are seeking. No, they can go broke without our business. They are doing just that :) Its really too bad because I think shipping a vehicle from point to point is a great idea that I have looked for and wanted for a long time. I am in Utah, would love to go back home and visit New Jersey, and spend some time in New England showing the sites to my children, but I ain't a gonna drive across flyover country with my children because I am a working class stiff and I don't get enough vacation for such thing. I would give the money it would cost to rent a van for 2 weeks, and then some to the railroads, but they don't want it. <shrug> Maybe someday we will have companies that do what the customer wants, instead of what the stockholders demand :-) On the other hand........ probably not......
