A lot do move by dry van container. A lot ship from Oregon and Wash. You need to line the box w plastic to avoid getting sap everywhere. You also need to be cool with getting paid for the shipment in cash by a guy in a parking lot who ordered the trees.
Ulrich Have never seen any on a train.

Back in the late 60's early 70's, GN/BN would park a couple of boxcars on a siding in Libby MT. My cousin was always part of the crew hired to harvest and load the christmas trees for shipment to the 'big city".
I seriously doubt this still happens, as many use fake trees, or they can be sourced locally or delivered by truck.

If they are, it would probably be in a boxcar or container, so you wouldn't necessarily see them.
