Sorry if this is a stupid question but would these buttons work for block power?

Rated 5 Amps @ 125/250 Vac
Just in general will 5 amp rated buttons work or do they need to be higher?
Looking at this really helpful article on circuit protection it looked like passenger trains might draw up to 9amps.

We have a pretty small 12x12 layout with 7 blocks and each block would probably only have one train on it at a time but perhaps could have two for a short duration if we lost track of them. Ten cars would be a huge train for us. It seems most of the lighted buttons I've come across have even lower amp ratings.
