AC/heat doesnt work when the vehicle is turned off. Some vehicles require getting out and smacking the starter with a hammer to get it to turn over. Just to give a couple of reasons why you wouldnt want to turn off your vehicle when stuck by a train.

with over a hundred vehicles steady burning gas all around
How are hundreds of car drivers as stupid as the dust on the road and don’t turn off their engines?

Yes, I’m familiar with reasons that passenger vehicles break down. Shit happens, I get that.
But the fucking miles long freight train itself shouldn’t break down 3 to 5 days a week, that’s what’s going on here.

Good question.
Apparently, if you multiply two sides of two major intersections that are two lanes wide, backed up for over a half hour or so, then how many cars are being blocked from travel?
Sorry I didn’t get out and do an exact count, I can’t exactly be in two places at once, but this shit blocked all the intersections to our part of town.
