Is it safe for an illegal alien to take Amtrak/Greyhound from DC to NYC?

If I had enough money, I'd buy my own train car - think the movie WILD, WILD WEST. One can arrange haulage on Amtrak, but I understand it's a tad difficult. Better to have your own engine.

 

Let me know how that works JP Morgan.

What a cool idea! I thought you were joking at first until I looked it up and saw that Amtrak does offer this service. And it doesn't look as expensive as I thought it would be.

Between Bakersfield and Fresno, California. On the Freights. Twenty years old and he has been hopping freight cars on the bum for two years. His home, which he has visited occasionally for two or three days at a time, is in Oakland, California. Here his father on Work Projects Administration, his mother who is engaged as a domestic when she can find work, and his married sister with her child live in a small house where there is a crowded and insecure atmosphere. His family is misinformed as to his activities and is not aware of his penchant for freight car travel. At one time he enrolled in the Civilian Conservation Corps, but he quit after six months because the army routine was distasteful to him, so he went back to hopping the freights. He is a complete hobo and is not seriously in search of employment. He has no desire to travel as a gentleman hitch-hiker. “I wouldn’t thumb. Freights are a lot better.” 4/11/1940

Did you look at those fees? They do NOT include the cost of the private rail car itself. These are the fees if you already own your own private rail car!

I think that arranging to run your own engine would be much, much more difficult. Tracks in the US are privately owned, and there's not much incentive for the owners to allow it. You might get in the way of their freight traffic.

 

But it is possible. The Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus train is the best-known example. http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/archive/index.php/t-465836.html

The circus trains do not own or lease any locomotives. The host railroad provides the locomotives and crews for any and all movements of the circus trains.
