Huh. Looks interesting, but there are some odd limits. The 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet seems unusually restrictive, but I suppose if you can palletize the shipment then you get 60" x 48" x 60" (1.5m x 1.2m x 1.5m).

The main restrictive thing, to me, is the list of prohibited items. Everything from stamps to watches to poles, perishables, office equipment (calculators, computers, printers, telephones...), medicine, liquids, furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronic equipment of any kind (explicitly mentioning TVs, radios, stereos...) engines, motorized vehicles, fragile articles... the list goes on.

I literally can't think of anything that would fit those requirements that would be large or heavy enough to need to be moved by Amtrak.
