DURING ARRIVAL AT MEDINA, OH, THE PLT DISCOVERED THAT THE NDB WAS INOP, SO HE DIVERTED TO THE AKRON FULTON ARPT. HE WAS VECTORED FOR A LOCALIZER APCH TO RWY 25. DURING THE APCH, HE DESCENDED TO THE MIN DESCENT ALT (MDA) OF 512 FT AGL. WHEN HE HAD THE ARPT IN SIGHT, HE REDUCED POWER, EXTENDED FULL FLAPS & SUBSEQUENTLY TOUCHED DOWN ABOUT 1/3 OF THE WAY DOWN THE WET RWY. THE PLT REPORTED THAT WHEN HE APPLIED BRAKES, THE ACFT BEGAN HYDROPLANING. HE DECIDED THERE WAS SUFFICIENT OVERRUN & CLEAR AREA OFF THE END OF THE RWY TO SAFETY STOP, SO HE ELECTED NOT TO GO AROUND. HOWEVER, HE WAS UNAWARE THAT THERE WERE RAILROAD TRACKS JUST BEYOND THE OVERRUN. THE ACFT CONTINUED OFF THE RWY. BEYOND THE 398 FT OVERRUN, THE ACFT HIT THE RAILROAD TRACKS & WAS DAMAGED. THE NDB AT MEDINA HAD BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR OVER 6 MOS.
