"I have a plan!"
Yes, you can all panic now.
Is there a way up to the roof of the train? If so...
"Hoi, Mime! Come with! I'm gonna teach you a new trick! If you aren't willing, clearly say 'no way in blue hell'."

There is. In the rear car is an observation deck that security use when keeping an eye out on the surrounding terrain in case of bandits or pirates. It's an open deck, and you'll have a full view of the surroundings (expect rain and wind).
The Mime desperately tries to convey through charades the get-out phrase you just mentioned but is defeated by the complexity of it. As you drag him off, however, I imagine someone might have something to say about this all too familiar plan of yours...

"Um, I don't think that'll work. I mean, he'll just bounce off.... If the helicopter doesn't dodge...
"We need something small enough that they won't notice it coming and that'll cause the maximum amount of damage...
"Aren't we far enough from Paris, though? Couldn't we just get off the train without them noticing?"

Let's see, if you get off the train you could make a break for it through a massive forested area that's close to this stretch of track. However, you'll have to make a break for it over open ground to reach that forest which is never a good idea with a helicopter firing bullets/rockets at you. You'll also be stuck in the middle of a forest in the middle of nowhere. Fun times. Don't expect the forest to be 'empty' either.
And the Starshot is a special case...just don't expect to see the Mime again; there are limits to what a person can survive and being flung like a bullet from a speeding nuclear train at a hi-tech attack chopper is probably not one of them (then again, SM is the law here...)

"I reckon we should get off the train next chance we get. But at the moment, did someone say they had a machine gun...?"

El Cid could produce one, yes. But he can't use that ability again for the rest of the chapter.

Having been at the controls until this point, I burst into the room with a more sturdy battle-worthy shovel.
"Who's firing rockets at MY train!?!"
I should have good knowledge of any additional defenses the train has against such attackes.
I say we use them.

The train is mostly prepared for if someone boards it, hence a small security team and small arms. It's not equipped to take out anything above a raiding party. You'll have to deal with this yourselves.

"Okay, let's make a summary of all the plans we have so far and then make a snap decision. I mean, it's only a matter of time before they hit us."

I grab Mr. Mime by the arm and drag him back to my side.
"Bugger off, Tsunami. Find another human projectile, this one is under my protection."
I then begin to rack my brains for every explosive device we have encountered thus far. What do I recall?

Lessee, we had C4, uh, petrol could be used (I'm sure you've seen a few of those)...grenades? Ever had grenades? Yes! You outfitted some of the folks in the HQ research lab, I believe.
Component parts to make an explosive could be requisitioned. Think bottle of alcohol meets oily rag meets helicopter.
Although I thought Fire Bear had a plan of attack when she got the cable and random parts of metal together...but that's just me.

No-one was listening to her so I abandoned the idea. Although, she can explain it if Pete's plan fizzles out...

And what about the very explosive device used to get us (that is to say Fire Bear and by association, us) in this mess in the first place?
"El Cid, I need some sort of explosive device, the bigger the better. What are you packing? Bear in mind, please, that we also have to detonate it."
Is everyone happy with El Cid producing some sort of explosive from his magical supply?

As long as it doesn't blow us all up...

To the left of this message is the exact face I pull and the exact line I deliver.
