Answer 2

need more details, like what city pairs and country is your car traveling?

if you are traveling between northeast usa and florida, amtrak offers 1 auto train, between lorton va and sanford fl.  you and the car have to travel on the same train, you can not ship the car by itself.

however, most individuals/private cars do not travel by rail.  the auto makers use rail from the assembly plants to auto dealers, but that service is not available to the general public.

there are multiple auto shipping companies, but they usually use auto rack trucks.  you can check your local yellow pages for auto transporters, but if you cant find them, i know there are 4 national truck carrers that serve nationwide in usa.  and they'll come to you to pick up the car.

probably can google, or if all else fails, call amtrak at 1.800.872.7245 bcs they have the phone numbers handy for just such inquiries since they dont do the service themselves.

your main goal is really to transport the auto, it wont matter to you how it gets there, whether by truck, rail, or boat.  once the auto transporter picks up the car, they are 100% liable for it until you sign for receiving it (that is just regular freight transport law, nothing special for cars).  they will send it the way that they are set up to do it for the price they quote you.

Answer 3

Amtrak has this service, but only to Florida.
