I wouldn't be so quick there. We only know of the larger warhead - the smaller ones (less than 0.5KT from memory) are no listed in the books except for a very few exceptions.
Just how big a blast would it take to nuke a train yard or distribution centre? I rather doubt it'd need or even justify 0.5kt and up.
