I was thinking that a well-timed explosive charge on a support pylon would make for a nice mess, but I suppose it's not any easier to secure a conventional railway.


The distance between the pylons is small enough that adjacent pylons may be redundant. It's also a massive steel tube which would be pretty strong in itself compared to rails (or roads).


The tube itself also isn't bearing nearly the same load as a train track.
