I've found nowhere that any price is mentioned, so I have to assume that it's one of those "if you have to ask..." sort of things.

Slightly less than $5 a mile with a minimum of $2296. The rate to park your car is around $4000 a month. Fun thing to do if you have the money.
The rate document has costs

That's what makes this interesting to me. Because I feel like, if you own an operatable train car that can be hooked up to AmTrak, then you not only don't have to ask for the pricing, but do you even have to google to see if you can hook it up?
An operable train car could be something you have as a coop deal. If you are good with tools you can probably trade labor for use of a car. (There are several rr clubs restoring old cars that would then qualify - check the club for terms - might even be a club event so the costs are shared with others)
This. There’s an old saying - “If you have to ask, you can’t afford it”
It's linked as "Rate Addendum Number 7".

If a private jet is just too "new money" for you, you can travel in style like a 19th-century robber baron.
