A bullet hole probably doesn't matter much. Air will be leaking inside anywhere and air has to be pumped out all the time in any case.
I think you can create a big train crash with a kg of explosives, so that scenario is already possible.

For example, the sensors/switches on a railway that cause a train to perform an emergency halt if the train driver misses a stop signal can be modified by anyone near it - no encryption, no locks (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwaKYZfgY8k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwaKYZfgY8k - only in German though). You don't even need explosives, a simple wedge welded on a rail would be enough. In the end, I don't think it is economically feasible to secure a railway against that (as well as any other kind of track). You have to make sure that nobody does stupid things like these.
