Downeast Johnny Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Thetrain woudn't be a bad idea but I do plan on visiting family in AZ for a week then head to Washington. I guess if it wasn't for that itwould be well worth it. I guess since I will be in AZ for awhie I can do a good service on everything before going north, Yeah in that case you've got to drive. Enjoy the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ss Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 If it was me I would at least ask Amtrac what it would cost to put it on the train. (Last I heard they transport vehicles). Or something like this outfit, http://superstartransportation.com/car-shipping/ I love driving my truck but hate putting miles and wear on it. My guess is that your looking at around $650.00 in gas + the wear and tear. Amtrak only carries vehicles on the "Auto Train" which runs from Sanford, FL to Washington DC or Virginia, vice versa. They use to run RoadRailers (piggybacking 18 wheeler trailers on bogeys) but that has ceased. The country needs a serious look at HSR, would put passenger aviation in serious jeopardy. I would not want to put those miles on my truck either, car transport like superstar is the way i would go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
