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.

    Oh, funny you’d compare it to just rerouting traffic.

    The parked train literally and completely blocked off our entire community, for over half an hour. No detour whatsoever, if an actual emergency would have happened during that time, they would have had no other option than to send in a helicopter.

      Again, train was probably there first, but is it the trains fault or the city planners for cutting off a community like that? I agree, that sounds incredibly dumb. I always joke and say “the people who make these decisions don’t actually live here” so they have no idea what they are doing, but it’s becoming less of a joke now
