Get a speeder and use that on the abandoned track. There's a speeder club that used to run periodically up in New Hampshire on the former Winnipesaukee branch between Sanborn and the end of track in Wolfboro until that became a rail trail.
What you're talking about is NARCOA: North American Railcar Operators Association. These guys restore speeders and run them on abandoned rail lines and tourist lines. I know that there's a person in Ringgold, Georgia, which is about fifteen minutes from where I live, has two speeders stored in an outbuilding on their property. I've provided a link to NARCOA's website: https://www.narcoa.org/
And here's all the speeders for sale on NARCOA's website, most of which are cheaper than a brand new car today: https://www.narcoa.org/forsale/4sale_want.htm

Not in the cards for me, as I would then need a trailer and then a pickup, etc, etc. I would love to ride as a passenger though!
How's this for irony: I mention that these speeders are cheaper than a brand new car today yesterday, and this morning, on her way to work, my mom wasn't paying attention and ran a red light and totaled her car. Luckily, she's okay, the SUV, not so much. She's now got a rental car from the insurance company. Looks like car shopping is in the near future.And here's all the speeders for sale on NARCOA's website, most of which are cheaper than a brand new car today:
