They are the plucky side characters who end up saving the day in the end with no one (including themselves) realizing who it is (they didn't even know they did something, tbey were just doing their usuall antics)
Or conversely, they are kidnapped and tortured one by one to death in front of each other while online just to make the "good" guys fight harder since their (the "good" guys) constant failure means the game isn't fun anymore for the "bad" guys.
Why am I getting a sinister vibe from this? Are we supposed to assume they are sweet and innocent when actually they are actually a nightmare?
Don't be silly, this is the photograph that will fade to sepia, and the battle-hardened survivors of the brutal gang wars will pull it out and stare at it, thinking back upon the days when they were all still alive and could smile so carefree...

That's gonna need a damn strong alloy as the rail track, to be able to handle the forces put on it by that artillery.
Though I would say doing this regularly would be pretty bad (given that sparks are being made), the flanges of train wheels regularly rub against the rails in real life, especially along curves. So regular steel should do just fine. What I would be more concerned about is momentum displacing the track which is a real problem faced in real life caused by a multitude of reasons. While the track should be kept on the ties so long as the spikes are put in well, the ballast on well maintained track is compact but still in individual pieces meaning the ties and rails can be pushed through the ballast.
