What is the effect if lightning strikes a moving train?

Presumably the electricity would pass through the locomotive or train cars and be grounded on the rails below.
But the rails themselves are steel, and therefore conductors. How far would the electricity travel through the rails? Could it short out signal lights, safety arms, etc?
Would the lightning strike damage the locomotive and cause it to stop?
