I tried a 3G+ card for about half an hour and got nowhere with it.

The 3G card I use works every time.  However, you're going to be very
disappointed with the service from a moving train.  The received signal
strength needs to be high and consistent for it to achieve useful data
rates.  My experience is that the card will maintain the connection, but
there are considerable periods when the service is unusable.
