Interesting article on private car ownership and riding (from NPR).

When I get rich (haha) I'm going to buy two or three private cars and my own HEP-equipped locomotive.

I believe BNSF has run steam excursion with railfan-owned equipment without any Amtrak involvement, and possibly UP and NS have also done so.
