That's OK, rjones. Passenger trains rarely stop at a crossing to switch cars, or pick up freight, or whatever it is they do. During rush hour. As I said, pity that poor fool that was doing gate maintenance at 5:15 in the afternoon, of all times.
I used to live near a GM plant. The rail cars would often screw up traffic. They didn't seem to care what time of day it was. Those CSX guys must have pretty thick skin.
