There are so many different rail companies out there. I have used SGL shipping a lot in the past. I think the best way for you is to go to google and type in "Rail Shipping", "Rail shipping brokure". I am looking at the page now and there is a list of rail companies that could almost all help you. Also, it is always easy to call a rail brokure. Here is the page I am looking at know http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Rail+Shipping. I would think that you would be able to ship a 20 ft container cross county for probably around 1,000-1,500. Should even be cheaper then that. Let me know if this helps you. If you need more help I would be willing to make a couple calls to get you in the right direction. Just need a little more information. Send a PM if you need it. Also, I didn't even pick up on the fact that you were moving to Fort Myers. We have a family house in Verandah County Club grounds off interstate 75 and highway 80. What part of Fory Myers are you moving to? I am down there about 4 times a year.

We have had the best luck with Fedex ground for shipping our 2.6 Extra and Fedex freight for the 3.0 Extra. I have talked to people that have used GreyHound with very good results and cheap.
