The words "cheap", "private", and "car" generally don't go together in the same sentence (unless it is, "I'm too cheap to take a private car!"), but these look to be some prime opportunities. Thanks for sharing them here.
 
I was under the impression that Amtrak was not allowing private cars on their trains. Has there been a change?
