You can build neither roads nor railways without either compulsory purchase or a single market entity which owns a significant chunk of all the land in the country. Otherwise you just get obstructed by holdouts and "nail houses".
So you'd either move around them or pay them enough. It'd be significantly more costly, but "impossible" seems like a stretch.
I'm not saying it'd be better, mind you; one can still be a staunch believer in the importance of the State. But to claim that the human species would stop transporting stuff if eminent domain was unavailable sounds to me as lack of imagination.
