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.

    It’s a problem from both sides apparently, both the railway and the local government. I ain’t asking them to switch to trucks, hell I get it, more power and efficiency for trains! 👍

    Just stop parking in the middle of the rail intersections, there was an actual train parking spot with 3 switched rails they could have parked at for maintenance about ~300 feet to the right, no joke.

    But they decided to block not 1 but 2 road intersections instead? I dunno, I’m no railway expert, but I don’t think trains are supposed to park on the road…
