This is what it takes to break up actual railroads: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_plough
Note that these things were pulled by two locomotives, and moved at roughly a brisk walking pace. It's VERY hard to destroy a railroad.

I'm not a railroad person, but the locomotives have gotten bigger too
