I'd throw a whole strike package at it, B-52s with Iron bombs to blast the marshaling yards, F-15E's to drop the bridges, F-16s to hunt down and Rockeye any trains on the move, and A-10s to pick off choice pieces of locomotive stock.


Say anyone heard about the Russian armed trains in Chechnya. Evidently most are just Tanks and BMP's parked on flat car with sandbags held up by steel plates for added protection, but reportedly some have concrete walls with spaced armor, and there was one report of a locomotive with reactive armor!
