Why didn’t they bomb (the railway lines)?"

I read an article about that recently. It turns out that the Germans had very efficient, quick-response railroad repair teams.

So unless there was an overriding reason to hit a rail line (like it being the day before D-Day), such attacks were of little lasting value.

To say nothing of the fact that attacking rail lines leading to extermination camps would do nothing to actually weaken the Reich itself, which was the ultimate goal.
