But you very clearly only asked how trains save fuel. By not editing the post to actually request an answer it still looks a lot like seeking validation
I didn’t ask how trains save train fuel, I asked how they save fuel in general, across the board of all transportation, particularly those blocked by a train in my post.
You assume too much, learn to read around the question. If a train parks and blocks a hundred pedestrian cars, and half those cars don’t turn their engines off, then the train is still wasting the fuel of 50 cars…

No, I’m looking for an answer, or a means to pursue an answer, or even better, hopefully a solution.
Another commenter suggested I call the train authority/maintenance people. Sounds good on paper, but their number is disconnected.

The problem is that you assume this is a normal train behavior. It is not.
If your question is truly about the general efficency. here is the very first article that i found www.thegreenshot.io/uncategorized/train-vs-car/
But all your answers make it clear that you don’t care about your question, instead you want to complain. And rightly so! This is shitty
Just stop fraiming it as if you are asking a question. It is not happening with well designed infratructure and is not a general problem with trains.
Maybe in your specific place it might even has a net negative impact. But almost everywhere else trains are saving tons of fuel.

I didn’t assume much, but I am telling you that you think you said this and you haven’t
