In this Hypothetical scenario. A simple solution would be cargo capacity. Can only fit so much onto a Glorified Dune Buggy or in a Trailer hauled by aforementioned buggy.
Though the establishment of a rail line would imply a necessity for one and likely the pre-existence of large and fairly well established infrastructure. And a fairly substantial crew complement in aforementioned infrastructure.
The Moon Train story actually broke a few weeks ago well before the Chinese-Russian announcement. I’d hazard a guess they’re running a story on it again because they think the Nuclear Moon Base story might drive clicks.
Though according to some alleged Whistleblowers. Highly Classified and Compartmentalized groups embedded in Defense Contractors have been working on proposed models for and logistics of the rapid manufacture and deployment of Space Based Infrastructure and Military equipment since the 50s. At least according to said Whistleblowers to finally deal permanently with hostile Alien presences in the Solar System that have been interfering in Human affairs and manipulating conflicts.
Orbital Stations. Defense Platforms, Freighters, Space Based Capital Ships of all sizes and classes. Dropships for Space Marine detachments, Fighter Craft, Ground Bases, Armored Vehicles etc. Basically The whole 9 yards and a whats what of Sci-Fi vehicle and equipment concepts.
Maybe this might be the start of early declass by the Worlds major powers?
Why need a train when in the 50s they were cruising around in seemingly perfectly functioning full sized dune buggy’s?

This is true. Heh. I think the bigger point is
Why are we hearing about this the day after China and Russia announce nuclear moon base intent.
Seems like the race FOR the moon is on, or so they want us to think!
