I bet that these devices are local only. Working in IT the security measures for these devices are likely that they are sitting on their own isolated VLAN. Routing is likely controlled by layer 3 switches with dedicated ACLs to only allow certain systems to obtain access to that VLAN. If it's a rail company the network itself is likely protected by an Cisco ASA or ASA style dedicated network security appliance. Networks have been hardened pretty well. Most often the exploits that IT is worrying about is application-based and user-based (social engineering).
