@dmoser I always wanted my own train... 😉

Fun fact from some 100...150 year old stories: If the train schedule didn't suit you, you could actually pay for your own small train to go when and where you wanted it too. If you were rich enough to pay for this special service.

I just checked: At least in Germany, this is still possible today. Transport is slower than regular trains, but you can ask a few hundred people along. The pricetag is several 10000 €. Source: https://www.bahn.de/bahnbusiness/tickets-und-angebote/business-tarife/charterzug
