Default Hauling a trailer by rail or car-carrier truck

Uli, I concur with avoiding rail. Here in Detroit our most severe auto
test used to be the rail simulator. Rail has a constant shake from the
track's joints that used to wear a car's suspension out before it
reached the dealership.

glider with good results. �Just be patient, the first bids will be
outrageous. Set a target price that's fair, and set flexible pick up
and delivery dates. This group is also a good place to find a "tow
ball", which I did as well (Thanks Frank).

I have a friend who was a hobo and rode the rails 30-40 years ago and
he told me that the closest he ever came to death was when he hopped a
freight car with a bad wheel. Almost shook him to death....
