You may be lucky as you might have a sideing(sp) across the street
to the warehouse.
Actually, the Museum of Transportation here in St. Louis is a
100% train
museum. I is REALLY nice and well worth visiting when you're here.
Back on topic - you will find shipping large things MUCH cheaper if you drop
the last leg off each end of the journey - in other words, drop off the item
at the freight terminal instead of them picking it up at your house, and
have the recipient pick up the item at his freight terminal instead of them
delivering it. This saves a VERY large percentage of the shipping price if
you have a shipper that will do terminal to terminal shipping.
I had one package go from $400 shipping to $75 shipping because of this.
