Segments are part of the static geometry of the level and cannot move.

If your train level is set in a tunnel, a way to fake the movement of the traincar would be to use dynamic walls, floor and ceiling and apply a scrolling texture shader to these entities.

I made a test level exactly like this sometime ago. I made custom segments for a coach-car using fpsc Segment Creator.
To give the impression the train was moving I placed a square billboard outside the windows with a video-texture overlay
showing the country-side moving. Worked like a charm Worth a thought ?

My games never have bugs. They just develop random features..
Lots and lots of random features...
