Large cargo train routes operational on mainland Europe for example during world wars. I am aware there were armour and turrets on the trains themselves but how were long stretches of rail protected from sabotage?
In: Other
through the use of anti-access/area denial weapons like mines and surface-to-air missiles at key infrastructure pieces like depots and rail yards. Those are the pieces that can’t easily be replaced or repaired during a war. Both the US and [Russian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Railway_Troops) army have entire units dedicated to the repair of rail infrastructure. 20 miles of straight rail isn’t going to be defended the same way as a bridge crossing a river is.
