In years gone by, a number of Australia's longer distance trains provided 'MOTORAIL' services so your car could travel with you on board the train. Over the years, however, one by one, all of these services have been withdrawn so that today it is no longer possible to take take your car with you on the train anywhere in Australia. If you wish to transport your car, you will, unfortunately have to contact a road based vehicle-relocation company.
