In my experience, anyway.  It may not be the only cause.

Quick review
The Scenario cheat: rename a saved game from .sv1 to .sv0, open it in
the scenario editor, make changes and save it, rename the saved scenario
from .sv0 to .sv1, open in TTDX.
The rail takeover bug: You build a rail across a road.  Years later you
try to remove the rail, but the local authority has apparently taken
possession of the rail and refuses to let you remove it.

When I looked back through the saved games, I discovered that the
problem appeared with the renamed scenario and continued for the rest of
the game.  I don't have a solution, unfortunately, just a cause.

Strangely though, given that they take over all your roads, the Local
Authorities will let you remove the road underneath the track, if I remember
correctly, but then your trains won't run over the track as it is now owned
by the local authority.

That's the trouble with local government - too much red tape.
