IMO water is 6x more important and vulnerable than electricity.
Everyone has decentralized electricity in their cars, and you could airdrop in $20 12v/110 converters by the million in a few days, allowing people to run fridges, TVs, etc on subsistence level. Hospitals, most apts and condos, and even "community centers" etc now have their own backup gen-sets. A few convoys of semi-trucks hauling gen-sets and fuel could get things back to semi-normal fast.
But you can't truck in, or even RR in anything close to the amount of water a large town needs, much less a city. And without vast amounts of fresh treated clean water disease will start to spread, demanding ever more water. Lack of clean water will be what empties cities, not lack of power, food or auto fuel.

It is 6x as important, but not nearly as vulnerable as you think.
If there is a large enough threat to the power infrastructure to mobilize airdrops of 12v converters, than problems have gone beyond the need for a refrigerator, TV, ect…
With a single 10,000gal tank of diesel. Unless a facility falls under a priority umbrella to receive fuel allocation like a hospital or government center, those gensets are simply to lessen the inconvenience of short-term power outages.
Which is something Gov't isn't going to waste resources and time on. If things have gotten so bad that masses of retail gensets are required to sustain an area due to a long-term rolling event that has so badly impacted the regional grid and somehow created a non-permissive environment for repair crews, that would require an amount of retail gensets which commercial vendors would be unable to supply and fuel would be allocated as a strategic resource. The fuel supplied with the initial convey would be burned up in 72 hours. It takes 25 hopper carts of coal to generate power for a small metro area over a week, a few semis of gas isn't going to cut it.
Sure, but unless you have the means to disrupt water treatment/supply and maintain a non-permissive environment to prevent repair or treatment, then your just blowing smoke up your own ass.

Interestingly enough, that was once considered a treatment for drowning.

The proper term would be "glownigging."

standard burial is 18"-6' but can be as deep as 24'. this is standardized by the International Building Code or Universal Building code and local law.
I actually once saw a county fire department cut a DOD fiber line putting in a fire line (fire hydrant). the FBI showed up.

just make a shitload of thermite and slag a couple meters at a time. or make a derailer wedge that you can bolt or weld onto the rail. or both for maximum effectiveness. slag one side, and put the wedge on the other.
