Here is a comprehensive guide on how to win the Great Train Robbery on brutal.
Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3:
Profit

By stimming, attacking, moving, attacking, moving, attacking, and moving, you can keep up with the train for long enough to kill it. Marauders are good as well, but since they can't stim, the train outruns them.
If possible, attack the train at one of the bends in the rails.

2Fact Diamond back 1Rax M&M was what did it for me. Picking up all the Diamondbacks left around the map early helped a ton.

This is exactly how I did it (no tanks for me yet on this mission). It took me a few tries because I'd be too focused on killing the trains and then one of the marauder super doom squads would suddenly be all over my ass.

I finished this on my first REAL attempt yesterday, wasn't too hard - though admittedly i had to reload a few times. Getting flanked by BOTH marauder kill teams is NOT fun

I actuallyjust followed this, and found it to be pretty useful, so definately check it out if you're still having trouble:

I actually had some real trouble in this mission, more than many other missions. I wasn't just able to mass a decent amount of units to both take the train and protect my base in the very beginning, even letting a single train pass by.

I just did some other missions in the meantime, until I got some special upgrade (automatic refineries and fast repairing SCVs in particular are invaluable here) and MERCENARIES. Mercenaries in particular are awesome to have an initial force big enough to handle the very beginning. Then it's just massing Diamondback, upgrading them with two armories and stomp everything.

i followed the vid on spy star craft channel and finished it the first time around .
i would suggest too any body doing campaign on brutal to just follow that Chanel as it just makes every thing so simple.
