Steam train

Yeah. Armouring a train to badass fighting vehicle levels should be entirely feasible. But in the end, if the enemy can get a couple of guys onto the track with a barrel of black powder or crowbars and an uninterrupted half-hour to work, or can zero artillery onto it, then all the armour in the world isn't going to get your train anywhere.

And stopping civilian trains on regular runs is often easy. Change the signals to red by hand.
