On the contrary, all it would take is a small shaped charge on the

Actually, it's easier than that.  On the railroad here we have an
intentional derailer device which has a curved wedge shape which is
used as a safety device to protect track workers.  These are placed on
the rails to intentionally derail a train which either ignores warning
signals or is a runaway.
