Mg is the chemical symbol for Magnesium, used in aluminium-alloys for lightness and strength so making them suitable for transport components such as coach bodywork parts. It's not used in the rails.

Did you mean Mn? That is Manganese, added to steel to increase its wear resistance, hence manganese-steel is used for the rail material.
