Can I install Linux on the old systems so they work better?

This, I had multiple old machines with these kinds of specs, I put Slackware on them, dropped in an ethernet card (or two), and used them for all sorts of things, iptables firewall/router, email server, network storage, irc server, etc. It breathed new life into seriously outdated hardware.

Those german railways shouldn't be running proprietary winblows garbageware to begin with. Shouldn't they be running Suse?
