For the record, and speaking as a US Air Force veteran here, I didn't know anybody bothered with this kind of thing anymore.
You don't have to attack the armored train, you just have to damage the tracks, or disturb the rail bed enough to derail the thing.

Even the Russians don't bother with rail-carried ICBM's anymore. The USAF never implemented the Peacekeeper Rail Garrison, and there's a reason for that. Again, you don't even have to touch the train, just hit the tracks.
