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.
This is because Prescision Scheduled Railroading is bollocks and leads to super long trains just blocking eachother up…
Its all to reduce the number of crews.
Basically, its capitalism again.
stop idling your engine
Yeah rev it up really loud, drill some holes in the exhaust too.
That’ll be sure to scare off the trains.
How do trains save fuel
By reducing the number of freight trucks on the road
And blocking our fire trucks for over half an hour, ain’t that cute?
Usually we got a detour we can use, but the train chucklefucks blocked both major intersections at once today, blocking not only civilians but also emergency services.
That’s a separate issue. You asked a question, and an answer was given.
I bet that your city is used to having trains, seeing as they’re pretty major infrastructure, and had the good sense to have multiple police and fire stations on each side, thus not negatively impacting their response times.
Have you called the station managers or whatever to file an official complaint? If not, you’re wasting your time complaining here.
It seems someone in your region needs to learn about bridge technology.
Where you think the train goes, assuming it doesn’t just park like it does 3+ times a week? It’s next destination is literally over a bridge.
Good. Now, have your people tried doing that, but with a road?
I’m not even sure what your point is anymore.
Yes we have trains. Yes we have highways. Yes we have bridges, for both even. There’s still no good reason for freight trains to park and block major intersections for over a half hour 3+ times a week.
Anyways, what’s your point?
