There is an organization of private car owners, some of which will charter cars that you can hang on the back end of AMTRAK trains.

Thanks. My wife loves period TV, and watches a bunch of British mysteries. She'd love to go on a train ride (think "orient express") with the cool old cars, dining cars, etc.... I've been assuming that sort of thing is pretty rare.
