Because for the pacing of the scene, “wrapped with ropes” is movie shorthand for “immobilized.” Most of the time, most of the audience doesn’t really care about the details of the knots.
A bit more practical would be looping the rope under the track itself between the ties; especially if you found a viaduct or something where there is no ballast you could just loop the rope right under.

Snidely Whiplash only needs to find a bridge, preferably one over a large ravine.
Then he just has to tie the hostage to the center of the bridge. Then when the hero makes a daring rescue Snidely can blow up the bridge.
And, like I said, the bridge won’t have ballast so you don’t have to dig out around the rails to tie Pettycoat McVictim town in the first place.
