Oh I more than understood your question, as much as there was one. I’m taking the piss out of you because your question is more of a rant than anything else.
Move somewhere else if you don’t like it. You live in an industrial area. As do I, where the trains stop traffic multiple times per day since we have lumber yards here. And we all deal with it because we chose to live here.
The fuel costs of having the train do what it does, even though it’s an inconvenience for you, will certainly be substantially less than them catering to you. That’s by my estimation though. If you have data showing otherwise, let’s take a look at it.

I don’t even live in an industrial area yo, I live by the coast where boating, fishing and food are the big things.
Again, my point is when you got (yes estimated) 100 cars stopped for half an hour, and only half of those cars bother shutting off their engines, well I ain’t about to go knocking on windows to ask people to shut off their vehicles to help the better cause. I ain’t trying to get shot, so half the chucklefucks still run their engines the whole time.
So how much fuel is wasted by passenger vehicles in such circumstances? Sorry I don’t have any exact detailed study for you, but it’s probably not much different than existing studies regarding how much fuel gets wasted at every red light intersection vs a roundabout.
Obviously a roundabout ain’t gonna work for trains, but at the same time the trains don’t need to be parking and blocking traffic multiple times a week…
