There are still some private rail cars rolling around. For a fee, Amtrak will hitch one to the back of one of their regular trains. Sometimes they stop at South Station.

This is one of those little known secrets.

One of my bucket list items is taking a private rail car somewhere.

Very neat. https://www.amtrak.com/content/dam/projects/dotcom/english/public/documents/privatecars/Amtrak-Private-Car-Rate-Addendum-5-101522.pdf These rates don’t really seem like everyone is going to be hitching their private train up though.

Brother, wait until you see the bills for the fuel and fees flying your private jet into Logan.. you'll wish you had taken your private train car..

Estimate $5000/hour for your private jet all costs included. That’s very roughly $10/mile.

I suspect if you've got your own private rail car and the time to use it, the fees aren't going to stop you in the least bit.

I wonder what the fee would be. For your own personal train. My train Flex 1880-1930s style
