Can An Individual Buy A Train?
Only around 80 people own private rail cars in the U.S. They are expensive toys—running upwards of $250,000. And that's not to mention storage and Amtrak fees, which can amount to $10,000 a year, and pulling charges, which on Amtrak run $2.10 per mile plus about $100 per night for parking.
Most private trains are either stored on private tracks owned by their owners, or they rent some storage on someone else's tracks. If you want to buy a new train, you would talk to the train manufacturers; or you can buy a used train.
