Absolutely impossible. The problem isn't the angle, the problem is that orbits are circular. The "orbit" would have to go around in circular motion until until it reaches the point where it exited the railgun (after accounting for the rotation of the earth and all the other nonsense you need to account for).
What you said, but the orbits are elliptical. The periapsis (lowest orbital altitude) would be the point where the craft exits the rail launch - located within earth's atmosphere.
