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.

    I’m not sure why people are down voting you so much.

    This shit doesn’t happen anywhere else. If a train parked and blocked a crossing 3 times a day for half an hour at a time there would be an uproar.

    Well I’m assuming there’d be an uproar, impossible to tell because all our tracks are double tracks to allow passing and trains don’t stop for no reason blocking crossings.

    We also use bridges a lot.

      There’s about to be an uproar here, everyone in the area is suffering this stupid shit. Yeah, only one track to share between freight and passenger trains, so even if you wanna ignore passenger vehicles altogether, it’s still a serious fucking problem.
