[net.railroad] shipping via railroad

maxwell@ncrcae.UUCP (Susan Maxwell) (07/18/84)

      I am moving to CO from SC and am considering shipping my off-season
      belongings, etc. via AMTRAK. 

      Has anyone out there ever trusted shipments to the rails?

      Any other (cheap) suggestions?

I have shipped a good deal of stuff via Amtrak.  So long as it's securely
packed, so you wouldn't be too horrified if they dropped it while loading
or unloading, there's never been any problem.  Sent some hefty things,
too, such as my bicycle and a large Diablo printer.  I leave stuff off
and picked it up at the train station myself.
