      Tanks are slow, trains are fast. Train lines often link strategically important cities. It lets you arrive in a contested zone and fight at the same time as disembarking other more generally useful equipment.

        yeah but the documentary Star Fox pretty clearly shows how tanks can be used to easily destroy a train like this.
