You are confusing several things.

First, train cars are not a precious limited resource. Someone having a car creates no impediments to anyone else.

Second, nothing is being taken from a public sphere - these are one off historically interesting cars being maintained by private individuals at no cost to the public, instead of being scrapped by private companies.

So in fact, something that would be wasted is continuing to get use.

Third, many of these cars are being made available for use to anyone, not just their owners, to help cover their costs. More options for everyone is in fact, a real public good.

The world is full of injustice but it’s worth not confusing someone having something others don’t with someone using wealth to suppress or harm others.

There is nothing here to “fix”. No imbalance or obvious benefit here to justify repressing others. Overreactions to injustice are, unfortunately, a common source of injustices themselves.

I share your concerns for others, and also feel deep frustration with the status quo of increasingly unaccountable wealth-driven compounding of economic, political, social, health, educational and legal inequality.
