YEA! definitely a nightmare, like that would happen in real life!
Oh wait it kind of has happened

The Hostage Holding of trains and passengers (1/2 a day not days)
Gang Scum dumping bodies close to main lines (Many years ago this happened East of Hobart on the BNSF closed the San Bernardino sub for 7 hours and San Diego Sub north of San Juan again many hours
Cops laughing? a stretch!
All the overtime they can generate at taxpayers (and commuters) expense? who else will pay their wages and benefits!
Locomotive running out of fuel? a few times
Thousands of cops? 10 to 15 maybe!
No food or water? I always carry water and energy bars incase of delay
