there are tags to describe the color of railway lines typically used in maps, see here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:colour?uselang=en-US It is not completely clear what a "private" railway is, many former federal railways have been privatized in the last few decades, btw. also the JR has been privatized in 1987 (meaning operating as a private company for the law), but AFAIK is still 100% state owned.
