Annoyed At: Stopped Freight Trains
It annoys me when…
Freight trains stop, blocking the crossing, for no discernible reason. Don’t get me wrong; I love trains. And I understand their vital role in our economy, moving large quantities of stuff from one place to another in an efficient manner. I also realize that to get where they’re going they need to intersect roadways traveled by regular, everyday motorists like you and me, which will occasionally causes delays. I get that. What I don’t get is why they stop, just sit there, blocking the crossing for five minutes and then begin on their merry way again.
