Motorcar/Speeder trips

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, I'm not sure-- but has anyone ever been on a railcar excursion like mentioned in this article?

About 25 years ago, railroads phased out railcars in favor of pickup trucks fitted with carriages that can adapt to railroad tracks. Railcars became collectors’ items, like antique automobiles. Now, collectors use these vehicles on excursions that offer views of remote scenery on rented tracks meandering miles away from the nearest roads. “You can see countryside that you don’t see from a car,” said Bob Knight, a railcar owner from Sandwich, Ill., who takes excursions as often as twice a month in warm weather.

Thanks

I think my most enjoyable Motor Car ride was when I with the MILW (1970-81) and had occasion to travel through the Sixteenmile Canyon near Three Forks MT. This was always a scenic highlight of a journey on the Olympian Hiawatha.
