When John Webb takes his family to California, Washington and Oregon for vacation from his home in Dutchess County, N.Y., they don’t fly or drive. They travel hooked to the back of an Amtrak train in a 1950s-era private railcar that Mr. Webb spent three years and nearly $1 million restoring.

Traveling across the country by private rail takes a lot of planning, requiring connections to various trains and layovers. But Mr. Webb, 35, says he and his 10-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter prefer it to their family’s second home in the Adirondacks because every day they wake up somewhere different.

“It touches places you can’t get to by road,” says Mr. Webb, head of an insurance brokerage in Fishkill, N.Y.

To travel, owners pay Amtrak $2.90 per mile, plus additional fees for services. Add the expenses of crew and connection transportation, and a cross-country trip can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Storing the cars costs about $600 to $1,000 a month.

Mr. Webb says owning private railcars can become an obsession. He attributes his divorce in part to the time and money he spent buying and renovating his cars. The three-year restoration of the Babbling Brook into what he calls a retro-modern 1950s diner look was “comparable to watching paint dry.” That didn’t stop him from buying two more cars in 2016 that are now being restored—bringing his private railcar ownership total to six cars. His current girlfriend is “very supportive,” he says.

Jesus christ it's depressing how together his life is. At age 32 he decided to get his own rail car and spend a million dollars fixing it up. So he's 35 now and has a 8-year-old daughter, meaning he'll be 57 at worst if she gets married before 30. He'll get grandkids before he retires.
