Armoured trains wouldn’t be very effective nowadays. Thermite capable of cutting through railway rail isn’t that hard to make, and a lot of people know that trains are easily derailed if staggered sections of rail are missing.
Air strikes on civilians would probably damage too much of the owners property, can’t have that.
The machine guns tho, they could do that. Bonus points if a machine gunner or two gets taken out too, that way it doesn’t seem like it was an overt massacre.

Mixing thermite? I have a lazier idea.

Did you know you can just order tools to derail locomotives?
Thermite is cheaper
Classic DIY vs purchase problem.
