@fritzoids @jgrg I actually looked into this. There's a small community of people with private railcars. Most are leased out for excursions, but some are owned for personal use.
It's not THAT expensive to buy one - comparable to the cost of an RV. But the cost of moving it is fairly high, it requires a lot of planning, and you need a place to store it connected to the national rail system (which means either leasing space in a rail yard or owning a railroad siding).
Fun idea, but impractical.
