Yesssssssss. Shutting down an airport is how you fight without killing and without just standing on a corner with a sign.
Every railway crossing has a sign with a number to call if something is on the tracks.
It would be a shame if someone called to report vehicles stuck and had all the trains stop. I'm sure people would be too busy to stay and call them back when the vehicle had gotten itself unstuck before someone came out to check.
I've never seen a sign that's had that at railroad crossings...

Usually in urban areas. I’ve seen them. I dunno if it’s on every crossing though
I mean, I don't live in BFE or anything.
Ohhhh ok, I was picturing a much larger sign, like visible enough that you didn't have to know it was there, and didn't have to inspect it up close... Ya know, like in case of emergency?
Haha yeah it’s a little bitty thing. Feel free to call it and say there are a bunch of immigrants trying to destroy the tracks lol
"these damn kids and their broccoli hair are using jacks to move the tracks!"
I spat wine all over. Thanks. Broccoli hair. I’m dying.
Sorry to make you clean that up.
I don’t know where you live. Go down to a crossing and look for a sign lol!
