    Do you have any quotes for RoRo? I would like to move some vehicles from the UK to Halifax some day soon.

    The best confirmed quote I have so far is $6,877.00 for RoRo, Liverpool to Halifax, but then trucking from Halifax to Virden is $6,750.00. E-mail me for shippers contact details.

    Should be able to ship the container on Rail to WPG for alot cheaper than moving by truck.

    A Container door to door would $20 to $30,000.00. We are not talking of a container here just drive on drive off (RoRo)

    Great idea. Are we loading our own contents or buying a share in yours. Please clarify before the sarcasm kicks in.

    You can RoRo on rail from HFX to WPG, much cheaper than truck. What type of vehicle?

    Neat! From my limited googling of that vehicle, you should be okay for width. CN’s website below has some info on bi-level railcar specs. If you click on the “start shipping” link, it provides contacts for quotes for shipping privately through Livingston. It’s worth asking them for a rail quote to see if it can be done:
