my uncle moved houses ... i helped on maybe a dozen or so ...  needed
special permits ... and wide load escorts ... and carefully planned
routes ... frequently for relatively controlled distances. 

if you choose your road routes carefully enuf ... you can miss a lot
of the problems that you would run into moving by train. we had one
route where i was on the peak of the house and had to grab wires over
the side .... lift the wires up to clear the peak and walk the wires
back as the house moved under.
