I reckon it might be doable with lightweight bikes and at least 2 of you, to manhandle the bikes across the various bridges (big and small) where the gaps between the sleepers would be a challenge. Getting past the cops would be fun too!!
That would be proper adventure riding.....

Officially, riding along the tracks is prohibited. As exciting as it sounds, getting past the cops at the bottom would likely turn in to a reception by the cops at the top of the tracks. Once at the top there is no where to make a quick get away.
There must be a road to Aguas Calientes, as there are dozens of buses ferrying tourists up and down the mountain to Machu Picchu. Did they bring the buses in by train? I suspect there are some really bad roads, which are closed to private traffic.
