Q. Is shipping my automobile by Train or Rail faster then by Truck?

If you are in the United States, shipping your vehicle by train and rail is an option but it is not as popular then shipping by truck. The choice for auto shipping via train is the Amtrak Auto Train.

Amtrak Auto Train is a great way to ship your automobile by rail but it has its limitations. The train only travels between Lorton, Virginia and Sanford, Florida (see map below). So unless you are transporting your vehicle on the eastern seaboard then shipping by train is not for you. Also another restriction with Amtraks Auto Train is that you or a respresentative must accompany the automobile during shipping.

Due to these factors, the majority of people in the United States who wish to move their automobile choose to ship by truck. You can browse our list of professional auto shipping companies and request a quote using our quick quote system.
