That's actually what I meant. If you're adding armaments to existing train cars, it's difficult to do it well. A train is long and usually has lots of windows in the passenger areas.

Also, it doesn't have much armor. Though the cars might have enough to be of use against pistols, if the windows are taken care of. I don't know.

If you have the resources of a government it would probably be easier.

One thing to remember is that trains weren't really that fast, but they could go constantly. (sort of)
