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’m not sure why people are down voting you so much.

This shit doesn’t happen anywhere else. If a train parked and blocked a crossing 3 times a day for half an hour at a time there would be an uproar.

Well I’m assuming there’d be an uproar, impossible to tell because all our tracks are double tracks to allow passing and trains don’t stop for no reason blocking crossings.

We also use bridges a lot.
