I always attacked trains broadside. Sometimes you could
shoot two in one pass (works best with oil tankers), but you
want to avoid flying straight over them because they may be
flak cars or they be full of ammo. So attack them a lot
like you would attack a carrier in AW. As soon as you have
finished fired, make a diving turn and stay low until you
are comfortably out of accurate AAA fire, then pull up for
another firing pass. You want to avoid flying directly away
from them in a straight line when within accurate AAA
range. You should hope there aren't several flak cars in
that train. Their coordinated firepower could be unhealthy
during a pass from the side (or any angle).

heh, heh, that is great sport. If you are the lead plane
attacking a moving train, your first pass at the engine is
sure to get the guy looking out of the window, heh, heh.
