      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.
