The problem is that the rates and routes are constantly changing as the railroads use the space mostly for commercial customers, so whatever is not booked for the next month with commercial shippers is sold to the transport companies. They book all available space monthly with auto transport companies who already ship cars. These companies include Amtrak, CSX, Union Pacific, and Burlington Northern Santa Fe. You would think shipping your car by rail would be easy, however you will quickly find that major railroad lines won’t service customers with one or two vehicles. With the rising cost in fuel prices (and, in turn, the rising cost of auto transport services) more and more customers are looking at car transport by rail as a practical, convenient, cheaper solution to their car shipping problems. Generally, it is cheaper, and many customers are starting to look at locomotives for their auto transport needs because of its lower cost.
There are a few inherent advantages to auto shipping by rail, though those are mostly archaic and not applicable to the industry today. Simply put, car and auto transport by rail is the process of moving your vehicle on a train instead of on a truck.
