I'm tired of the Southern Pacific Railroad! They play a little game where they pull up almost enough to let traffic by and stop. Then back up almost enough to let traffic by and stop. Then repeat. They are only supposed to block traffic for 10 minutes but there is no enforcement so they do as they damned well please. Then again, law enforcement has been turning a blind eye to the railroad's shenanigans since the 1800 when the railroad would convince land owners to sell their land to bring the railroad through.

Don't we taxpayers pretty much fund the railroad with government subsidizes or is that just Amtrack? When I am sitting and waiting for 30-45 minutes, I think of ways to get revenge. I would like to fine a sidelined train and weld the wheels to the track with a portable welder! But I'm sure that would be some sort of a federal crime, probably terrorism. Maybe I can buy an old clunker car (cash), park it across the tracks and remove all 4 wheels! :lol:
