Especially in germany it's a whole branch of tourism these days. They even have solar powered electric ones. The tracks are usually former railway lines, not sure about the legal status of them, if they are all officially out of service or if they are just not used anymore (partly because there is no request and partly because neglect has rendered them unusable for locomotives).

For those wondering, like me .... "draisine"= handcars, track cars, putt-putts,etc (to use American language). Little maintenance vehicles (most often but not necessarily 4 wheels). In the past strictly for railway service, though lately passengers and private users have been using them.
