If & when the shtf getting out of Dodge may be a serious problem with traffic and blocked roads. (some may be blocked intentionally!) In any case it would be dangerous exposing yourself & family.
One of my thoughts was to modify a BOV so that it could drive on RR tracks. It isn't coincidence that the rails are exactly the same width as most full size vehicles. It wouldn't take much of a modification to add some drop-down guides to allow vehicle tires to ride on the tracks. The driver wouldn't even need to steer. Just set the cruise control and go!
The guides could be controlled from the driver's seat allowing normal use of the vehicle as well. It would be possible to get on and off the tracks almost anywhere. (Don't try it on a bridge!)
