If this wasn't so overwhelmingly opulent and deccadent, it'd be super cool.
I'd love to own and restore vintage rail cars and travel in them cross country.
Honestly, the idea of traveling via a well outfitted rail car, with a large private room, is super appealing.
@ajroach42 Do they pay to have the car pulled by Amtrak?
@Brennan Yes. Several thousand dollars from what I gathered.
@ajroach42 @Brennan when I last looked into this, the Amtrak towing rate seemed surprisingly reasonable. You don't have to do it in the super luxury way, although of course WSJ is more interested in reporting on that.
I like the idea of cross-country hackathons where we attach a private car to an Amtrak train.
@npd @Brennan @mrgah I wonder if freight companies will tow private cars, and what the difference in cost would be.
