They do this shit at least 3 times a week here in south Mississippi, and its a fucking freight train with over a hundred train cars usually.

    The question about train fuel consumption was not the question.

    The question regards how much passenger vehicle fuel gets wasted when a train parks and blocks their path. Cause and effect yo, a train parks, blocking multiple intersections, and half them vehicles ain’t even gonna shut their engine off.

    So, a train parks, over 100 vehicles park at direct and nearby intersections, many many gallons of fuel are being unnecessarily burned.

    Yes, we shut our engine off while we waited, but half the chucklefucks out there won’t even do that…
