Back in 2004/2005 a friend of mine successfully sent a car by rail from Toronto to Vancouver and then back a few months later. There was a company dealing specifically with shipping cars that arranged this, there were a lot of restrictions (e.g. you can have absolutely nothing in the car), but it was possible. I'd imagine there's probably something like this in the US as well. The other option is to just buy a cheap car and either donate or sell it at your final destination.
