How do you go about convincing a rail carrier to take a shipment which is

It is too bad
one can't share the truck and have the truck move
across the country with computers. There must be a lot of computers
on the east and west coasts that have to move inland and from one
side of the country to the other. Too bad you can't ship rail anymore.
You can, it's just that they've unfortunately ripped-up all the
old rail in order to create greenbelts... I'm lucky that I've
got a mixed-use railhead near my home (freight and newly-restored
Amtrack service), but I'd still need a step-van or flatbed to
bring it that last mile...
