The Sunday attack in Rue So district of Narathiwat province disrupted train services in the three violence-plagued southernmost provinces.
Police Colonel Dulyaman Yaena said an unknown number of insurgents exchanged gunfire with other railway guards before fleeing.
Two railway guards died from wounds caused by the explosion while 15 others were hospitalised.
