What happens when you ship your Vic by Train

I just moved from Ontario to British Columbia which is like on the other side of the country..lol. I flew down and shipped my car by train. This is how it arrived today....it was spotless when I dropped it off in Ottawa...haha.

so yeah...first thing I did was wash it. The dirt is so ground in I'll have to do it again this weekend.

How long did it take to get to British Columbia. Looks like it took a while.

He calculated it, it would have been roughly the same with hotel costs, need new timing belt, new tires, food costs, gas, etc. So he had it shipped, less stressful and minus the mileage.

I would wash it again and clay bar it to remove the rail dust then wax it or better yet for the winter put a sealent on it.

well, it's the winter and stuff and I guess that even the railroad company uses salt or calcium to remove snow and ice from the tracks.

yeah they take pics before it leaves and I have to sign for the car after I inspect it myself prior to taking it. These guys ship new cars for Honda, they're not a 'jonny no-name' operation by any means.

It was dirty cuz the cars they put the vehicles in are not sealed tight..they're somewhat open on the sides.

The car was fine other than dirty...they would have washed it for me but the hose was frozen..lol. All the **** I shipped over in my trunk was also accounted for.

At least you didn't have to ship yours across an ocean. When mine got here I had to wash it thoroughly twice just to get the salt and grime off. And my ceramic coated headers started rusting.
