Yeah, actually, they might. Not as big of a role as they should because nobody knows how anything works any more, but in the big cities I don't see why not.
This brings up a far more important question, though; Are there War Trains?

As in, MG emplacements on them with Flak Gun carts spread out evenly?
In GoIO there sure as hell is.
Valkyria Chronicles is almost a steampunk game. They use blue magic ore (ragnite) instead of coal. Ch. 10 pt.2 (Liberation of Fouzen) features a Canyon map with a rail spanning across it. On that rail sits a railway gun called Equus. The objective is to destory the bridge beneath Equus and send it crashing down. In addition to fighting your way to the bridge, the Equus puts down Mortar fires, moves around, and locks down a half the map with impressive machine-gun barrages.
A few reference pics:

Fouzen, not dissimilar to maps we already have.

Equus, an impressive railway gun you must defeat.
So,.. something similar to this mission would be really cool in Co-op. Not that fighting ginormous behemoths aren't enough.

You know, Gustav sort of cannon could make a really interesting boss fights.
First, theres the whole aspect of air to surface combat, which could add some very interesting game play.
And we can have a massive mega-gun. One shot, very long reload, limited arc and very slow reaction (rotation) speed. Deals massive piercing primary damage, and a massive explosive secondary damage. Such that it can kill a Galleon in one shot. In addition, it'd have a large convoy of ground and air based units to protect it.
The player's objective would be to destroy the gun before it reached a destination (a siege of a city?). The railway gun could be slowed down by either destroying a well-defended railroad bridges (forcing the gun to take a more solid, alternate route) or damaging its engines (which would be repaired by the engineers on the railway gun). Complete kill if the player manages to destroy the well-defended bridge with the mega-gun and its convoy on it (very difficult).
Airships v. Trains!

How about we actually just put a Balloon on the cannon and make it fly super slowly towards the city.
If it fired at you, it'd be knocked back 400 or so feet.
trains would be prone to raids from airplanes and other puny sky vehicles.
it would simply be too expensive to maintain them. As it just takes a flak to destroy the tracks and its not like trains would be doing any evasive actions.
And it wouldn't take long to just raid, take the cargo they got and then leave.
Though if they have UNDERGROUND trains, thats another matter. But steam powered trains underground is kinda dire. I hope you brought supplies of oxygen tanks.

Not nearly as dire as... DAVID DIRE!!!
I think trains were a thing but the great war destroyed most of the tracks leaving only clues of their existence.

does this include the existence of grils?
Wait, grills or girls? DO BARBECUES EXIST IN GOIO???

Nope, they just avoid you. ;) (jk)
I wonder whether there are signs of trains in GoI? Unless, of course, GoI and GoIO are separated worlds, a fact that I then would somehow have missed to notice.

A few maps do have broken train tracks. :)
So evidence suggests they did exist, but I'm unsure if they're still in use in the world, I've not seen a functional track
There are some benefits of using trains over airships. First, crawling on land is usually more fuel efficient than soaring throughout the air. Second, trains can make long, extended journeys that airships cannot. Third, trains can carry more loads than an airship.
Even if all train tracks were inoperable, factions would be repairing them. There should be trains transporting valuable resources from mines to manufacturing centers (Airships would't be able to transport much at a time).
Also, our Skirmish Airships are not outfitted for long flights (no sleeping quarters, food storage, and restrooms). Extended campaigns would rely on Giant Air Behemoths or Train Airship-Carriers. Several Airships could be mobilized near places of conflict on board these trains.
So.. Muse... Trains?
(Can someone ask for me on the fireside chat and tell me their response? I can't make it due to being-in-school).
Wait, a lot of the balloons are spherical.
Kirby-powered flight???
Perhaps.
Deserts are hell on metal. It's possible that the airships have an advantage in the transportation business because they don't have to worry about maintaining GIGANTIC lengths of track in the middle of nowhere.
Also a train can't really fight well. It's stuck on tracks which limit movement and are easily sabotaged when someone isn't watching. I understand the idea of putting flak cannons or machine guns on a train to defend it (from those obnoxious airship bombers, perhaps) but a war-train for offense alone seems a little pointless.
