Freight rail might be. High speed passenger rail? Not so much. If they need to move soldiers around quickly they can use transport planes. They can move heavy equipment on planes too but rail is much more cost effective for moving things like 70 ton tanks across a continent.

The US leads the world in freight rail, which actually generates profits.
