Coincidentally, on another forum I frequent, there is a thread 'what good is a cat' and it's got pretty much the same comments as this one.
Zappers work on high voltage and low current. Stronger ones have higher voltage and maybe higher current. Think Taser. The high voltage onn your rails may arc over and cause a short (burn thru an insulator). it is real hard to find. Try other things first
Plan B - let it stay outdoors a lot. Eventually it'll wander and take an interest in neighborhood birds, squirrels, chipmunks and voles. It'll bring some back in used condition. Sooner or later the neighbors will be tempted to feed it, and then your problem is solved.
..with a cat you know, it's all about "what have you done for me lately"..
Btw, we used to have a neighborhood cat. Each family had a different name for it and each thought it belonged to someone else. It was an unusually large heavy furred yellow cat. It (a she) had a big body with kinda short thick legs and these tuffs of hair growing sideways out the ears. It always turned down offers of food, even warmed up fish. It only ate what it personally killed. It'd even sit for hours on our A/C compressor over a chipmunk hole just waiting and it ignored anything you did while it was busy with that. Quite the sportsman actually.
It wouldn't allow other cats in local yards. But it wanted human attention although only on her terms. If you let it, she'd climb up on you - with claws out. And you couldn't pet it, without heavy gloves. It'd clamp its jaws around your hand so fast you couldn't see it happen, then look you in the eye as if you owed it something. Really odd animal...I called it Tigger and it'd come to me even from half a block away.
The lady two houses down is Chinese and the name she called it, which I can't spell, I understand was Chinese for cat...

There is a bit of track where cat runs and I don't see it bother the track.
When it comes time to run trains, it's not going to be around. It will likely retreat due to the noises.
