Cause and effect, train parks, blocks vehicles, and half the drivers refuse to shut off their engine.
Trains literally have their own parking areas, one such parking area literally about ~300 feet to the right of this photo. There was absolutely no reason they had to park where they did, dodging their literal 3 line maintenance track, by ~300 feet. Fuck they coulda put the train in reverse to use their maintenance tracks rather than blocking not one but two major intersections…

oh. ours don’t park like that. I mean it takes a while for them to pass through but they don’t just stop. I mean I imagine in the past some breakdown issue might have caused it. I think I did not get your actual thing because its foreign to my experience.

I’d like to assume that such situations are due to a breakdown or something, but 3+ times a week?
I’m glad your area apparently has better train service and maintenance than my area, but yeah apparently they don’t know what they’re doing down here.
Southern Mississippi USA here if it matters much (kinda does I guess)…
