Is it, though? There are a lot of trains where you can't even get to the locomotive while the train is moving, and I couldn't find any train accident in modern history[1] where all passengers died.

You can't escape from an attacker on a moving train.

You can eve pull the emergency brake and smash the emergency windows. You can't get out of a plane while in flight and it is also hard when it's on the ground.

People have tried these kind of things, but there truly are better targets than trains. Even a bomb will accomplish relatively little, the station being a better target.
