You will find destroy depot and destroy rail the equivalent of burning a city. It will render the city useless for several turns. Because of the manner in which supply works in this game, destroying the depot and supply, while cutting the railroad, renders the city of no use.
This is just not true. Supply can still move easily. It just will not be able to move as far. Even with no depot a city can still be a thoroughfare for supplies. Especially so if it has a harbour.

This is also false. Level two forts cannot be destroyed once built.
