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.

    AC/heat doesnt work when the vehicle is turned off. Some vehicles require getting out and smacking the starter with a hammer to get it to turn over. Just to give a couple of reasons why you wouldnt want to turn off your vehicle when stuck by a train.

      Yes, I’m familiar with reasons that passenger vehicles break down. Shit happens, I get that.

      But the fucking miles long freight train itself shouldn’t break down 3 to 5 days a week, that’s what’s going on here.
