Comment on How do trains save fuel when they literally park on the tracks and block multiple intersections, with over a hundred vehicles steady burning gas all around waiting for the train to fucking move?

  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…

    The problem is that you assume this is a normal train behavior. It is not.

    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.
