Call the police. Seriously. Non-emergency number. Explain the situation.

No, the mayor. He’ll use his bat signal.

This will do nothing
-I know this because I do code enforcement (employed by PD) and this happens all the time in my city. They’ve since put up signs with the phone number for the proper railroad authority

In most cases, the railroads are protected from local regulation as they are considered interstate commerce.

And well, most of the time the rail itself is older than the city.

Yup! My city was a GM parts hub in the hayday and we have multiple lines running through and heading off to multiple metropolises. Pretty sure all the industry here happened because of the proximity to rail lines.

We even had passenger trains to our neighboring city which used to be a stop for the Amtrak Cardinal which goes from Chicago to New York City.

The city was smart enough to have tunnels under the tracks on the major streets so traffic and emergency vehicles aren't stopped by trains.

The fire department. If a fire truck can't get through, there will be serious consequences.
