I have heard of that being done to get trains across a waterway ahead of the completion of the bridge.  There may be several historical instances of running on the ice.  What I vaguely recall was a crossing of the Missouri River, but I don't offhand recall the railroad.  I have also heard stories of logging railroads running over the frozen ice.  I was told that Many Point Lake in northern Minnesota has a log train sitting on the bottom with the track underneath it.  The log train was reportedly was running on temporary track over the ice, and broke through.  It seems like a unique need must exist in order to go to the work of laying track and running trains over the ice just while the ice persists.
