Yes it is possible but with railways you will never be sure when your car will reach. They might take it out anywhere in the journey to make room for someone who's bribed them enough. Even if you bribe them you might have to travel along just to make sure they don't do what I just said.

I think it's just easier and safer (for the car) to be sent by truck. But please do make sure you cover your seats and the tank is as empty as possible (or get the AC disconnected). I once shipped my car (Zen) from Delhi to Hyderabad. The seats were very dirty and had stains (food stains), the odometer was no longer working (not sure if they disconnected it before going for a joy ride) and the tank was almost empty (I must have had 4-5 lt in there before I gave it to them). My theory - they turned the engine (& AC) on and ate and drank inside and maybe went for a joy ride.

It's like choosing between the lesser of 2 evils.
