Half an inch isn't that thick. I have many .30 cal rifles, and I've put holes in 1/2 inch plate with AP rounds. A .50 cal BMG API will easily penetrate 1/2" at a several hundred yards, IMO.
Here's a pic I found:

Looks like .50 cal will penetrate over 1/2 an inch at 600 yards, a little shorter range if it's at an angle (not a problem with a cylindrical locomotive , some bulltes will almost always be normal tothe surface)
