Thanks for all the responses, guys.
I guess that settles it: Rail transport is out - road transport is in.
I am contemplating to attend the Libelle meet at Air-Sailing next
year, but hauling the trailer 80% of the east-west width of the US of
A is not very appealing plus it takes too many of the precious
vacation days. Fuel cost is a different story - who knows how much a
gallon will cost in a year.

Just be glad you are not doing it in the UK. Gas just reached $2.50 a liter
here this week, that's about $8 a US gallon.
