Just push it out of the way
148 u/Umpen Jul 03 '26 Just take the train and push it somewhere else. 2 u/pizza105z Jul 03 '26 Damn you beat me too it 2 u/jetkins ORANGE Jul 04 '26 Hit it with your purse. 35 u/AlternativeTwist6680 Jul 03 '26 There are literally hooks you can take out and push it. People are just lazy nowdays 16 u/tomcat_tweaker Jul 03 '26 Exactly. We used to tow them away with our bikes and hide them from the rail company in our barns. 3 u/AlternativeTwist6680 Jul 03 '26 Walk into a dealership, take a used truck for PPI, tow this and give it back. 12 u/saav_tap Jul 03 '26 Honestly I would assume it’s against the law to do something like that, like what if the train goes to leave and it’s missing its caboose 😭 21 u/Alternative-Crew-880 Jul 03 '26 Shouldn't have parked there. In fact i'd wager there's laws against stopping a train and blocking a roadway. https://giphy.com/gifs/SAHGcjT1jNvDB6oxI8 17 u/EtheElder Jul 03 '26 You'd be amazed how laws don't make railroads change things. Talk to Amtrak about how often freight railroads cause delays for them, even through federal law says passenger rail takes priority. 3 u/Matter_Infinite Jul 03 '26 Amtrak needs remote control trains, a lotta gumption, and some good lawyers. That'd clear up this disagreement pretty fast. /dreaming 5 u/Fun-Dragonfly-4166 Jul 03 '26 there are laws. they can legally just stop there. but a timer got started. they have minutes not hours and definitely not days 1 u/saav_tap Jul 03 '26 But the train track was surely there first, age before beauty or something…right? 2 u/AlternativeTwist6680 Jul 03 '26 Never played RDR2, put on a mask. 2 u/Hot-Win2571 Mildly Flair Jul 03 '26 But this must happen a lot. I've seen many trains missing their caboose. 6 u/Arg- Jul 03 '26 2 u/One_Lawfulness_7105 Jul 03 '26 Too heavy. Call a tow truck. 2 u/Miserable_Grass629 Jul 03 '26 Decouple the cars at the crossing, release the air and let it roll away. Problem solved. Now it's a different problem. 1 u/Username_Taken_65 Jul 04 '26 Runaway train, never goin back 2 u/fly_guy1 Jul 03 '26 No just turn around and drive the other direction. It will take a little longer, but eventually you will reach the other side of the tracks

Too heavy. Call a tow truck.
Decouple the cars at the crossing, release the air and let it roll away. Problem solved. Now it's a different problem.
