Interesting story; I just flew to the East coast to do some glider
shopping and on the plane I sat next to a guy who worked for a major
railroad and the guy was a pilot. I told him what I was going on my
trip for and explained I would need some way to get a ship home. He
said that you cannot ship by rail because much of the track is not the
smooth welded seam track (There is a special name for this modern
track which I do not recall) and that the suspension on a freight car
is too stiff so even if you get a nice ride on a passenger train a
glider would get pretty beaten up.
There is a slight chance I will be headed to the East Coast in April
and I could possibly help you out if you get your ship to UT.
