You could say the same about rail infrastructure, but you cannot use private vehicles there (legally).

  You actually can, but the hassle is expensive. You have to coordinate it with the railroad and the controller and you have to provide a locomotive and an engineer and on and on and on, but you can do it.

    For heavy rail, yes. For light rail, that is more likely to have been built with local funds, is this actually a thing --- I'm sure if you work with the film commission, but I would be surprised if any light rail systems have a plan for private vehicles. Amtrak will pull your private rail car in the right conditions, too https://www.amtrak.com/privately-owned-rail-cars https://www.amtrak.com/privately-owned-rail-cars

      Over here we only have rogue motor trolley riders like these guys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B4MI08HWro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B4MI08HWro At the time of making the video this line had been closed for over 20 years, which is why it's so overgrown and why nobody bothered to disturb the riders.

      All light rails either operate like heavy rail (controlled from a central control area, receive clearances and obey rail signals) or they are just busses on tracks and operate by the rules of the road. Some are both. The second are easy, and you just need permission in general. The first you need communication with the central office. This is all done for maintenance vehicles for the tracks, which are often contractors.
