Tickets for blocking intersections

I really don't care If I block a road crossing with as rude as motorists have been to me. I've been cussed at, had things thrown in my direction, and just generally insulted. I did my best to clear a crossing as soon as possible. I blocked road crossings for about a few minutes at the most. I'd like to go to the motorists' job and heckle them at work and see how they like it. The places I have worked there are several viaducts that can be used just a few blocks away, so I really don't feel sorry for a stubborn motorist. Railroads are the reason many towns came to be and most of the railroad infrastructure was there long before most of the town was. I did have one case where my train was having air problems and I had one crossing in a town blocked for a good 15 mintues. I walked across the road with a cop sitting right at the gate. I paid him no mind and just kept walking my train. To me it would be more important to keep working on the problem than have to stop and explain myself.
