If you can prove that you have used the property for a good purpose or have a fence around the abandoned railroad tracks for the last 25 + years then yes. It also depends on where this property is located.

adverse position only works against private property owners, as such you can not adverse posses against a government entity
do not know about rail road but there are Federal laws in regard to railroad very high protection under Federal law
also depends how you have occupied the property , if you move to obtain title against the railroad company they may come out and exercise their right to the property

You really need an real estate attorney who is experienced with railroad right-of-ways. I would suspect not because it deals with a railroad, even though it sounds like you have been maintaining the property for 25+ years. You just really need to talk to an attorney. An initial consultation shouldn't cost too much. Good Luck

Just because the land is not used it may very well be owned by the rail company
