I've seen those trucks with a bunch of cars packed on top, something like that (minus truck) could totally fit in a train cargo container.
Auto-trains are already a thing.
The loading and unloading is a pain.
Without looking deeper it’s probably cost prohibitive. Looking at long train rides cost a thousand dollars and takes 3-4 days, might as well just fly at that point.
Yeah putting cars on trains is the opposite of a solution lol. All that cargo space used on a car probably just ends up driving the cost of the train ticket up for everyone. If you really need a car, rent one at your destination, like you would when flying.
