Lived in California (SoCal and Bay Area) my entire 42 years.
No, we don’t.
There was a short, planned outage in my neighborhood (San Diego suburbs) last summer - we got a few days notice (can’t recall if it was a letter or an email). Didn’t have one the summer before that. I don’t recall any power outages when I lived in the Bay Area.
If the power goes out there will be no signalling on the tracks, no barriers or traffic lights at level crossings, no lights or announcements at train stations, etc.
Even though a diesel locomotive technically could run with no external power, no regular train will be operating during a general power outage.
Same goes for an EMP, even though that would likely fry the diesel locos control systems anyways
In California? They have black outs every summer. The power going out is a valid concern

A planned blackout is still a blackout.
Are you thinking of Texas?
