They do this shit at least 3 times a week here in south Mississippi, and its a fucking freight train with over a hundred train cars usually.

I get you're pissed that you have to wait for a train sometimes. I get it, it happens to me sometimes too. But do you really think the railroad crossing in your specific Mississippi town is the barometer upon which all transportation efficiency is measured?

Maybe your town and local trains just suck?

    Our trains run to and from New Orleans Louisiana to Mobile Alabama, possibly even further now, major shipping routes to major corporations no less.

    So why they gotta decide to park their freight trains right over our main community artery roads for over a half hour at a time, multiple times a week?

    Oh, did I mention, they share the same rail with Amtrak passenger trains? At least Amtrak doesn't park..
