Amtrack Needs to Expand Auto Shipping Service

Seems like Amtrak is always crying about losing money and looking for more public support for its train service. It just seems to me that they are missing a huge opportunity.

With all the interest in buying vehicles online nowadays, at sites like eBay, people need auto transport services to get the car, truck, SUV, RV, etc. to its new location. There's a ton of interest from people looking to transport their vehicles on Amtrak, but currently Amtrak only offers one line where you can bring your car with you, and that runs from Virginia (around Washington, DC) to Florida.

Well that's just find and dandy for those needing to ship cars to or from Florida by train and maybe even Florida movers, but it just seems to me that if Amtrak were willing to add more routes where you could bring cars with you it would open up a whole new market for them. Not only people needing to get cars and other vehicles from one point to another, but what about those people who'd really like to tour the country using Amtrak, but have to rent a car or get stuck near the train station once they get to their destination? Wouldn't it make tons of sense to allow Amtrak passengers to bring their cars with them on the trip? What a great way for tourists and seniors to get to see the good ol' USA!

I'm thinking this could be a good revenue generator for Amtrack, while at the same time providing an important vehicle shipping service to train passengers.
