I own the car and pay taxes that are partially used to build/maintain highway infrastructure.

I do not own the train. I guess it's true that my taxes were partially used to subsidize the tracks without my consent, though.

The taxes go to the administrative costs of driving.

The multiple billions of dollars per year that each state spends maintaining road infrastructure comes from everyone, regardless of participation.
