Moving a Trackmobile

Guys,
Can a trackmobile be moved by rail, as part of a freight?

I need to move mine from Upstate New York to North Carolina.

Nothing is impossible for the person that does not have to do it!

You can certainly have it loaded on a flatcar.

putting it on a lowboy truck probably would not only be faster but cheaper too.

If Conductors are in charge, why are they promoted to be Engineer???

I got my answer from the railroad, it does not have a coupler that meets the correct standards.
So we will have to put it on a truck.
