This was something Merle Haggard did on branch lines near Bakersfield. I never heard of Johhnny Cash doing it.

The July 13, 1971 issue of Look magazine had a photo of Merle Haggard in an old automobile modified to also run on rails that was taken on the Oil City branch just north of Bakersfield.
Merle stated that he had been caught doing this activity "only" six times. He never stated anything about being arrested for it, though.
