I'm not sure it's an option at all on a large scale. It's not something that the weekend warrior types can do (it's a skilled job), so presumably you'd need people from the army who drive their logistics trains to do it. But I don't know how many of those there are. Stopping arms shipments to Ukraine because the army train engineers are busy delivering treats would be kinda funny tho.
To be fair, teaching is a skilled job and I believe there are still National Guard troops with no education training who are teaching in public schools due to "teacher shortages*".
If that was a reasonable option why not just do that now
I don't think it's a reasonable option, I just think it's the one that would be chosen in a strike or mass quit

I guess America could get its own Lac-Mégantic rail disaster.
with the way rail workers are treated now it's honestly surprising that there aren't more major rail disasters here
it's because we use rails less.
