Did you know, that on every train crossings there are phone numbers that you can call to let them know something is blocking the tracks?

It sure would be inconvenient and/or disruptive enough to protest near commuter train crossings and inform them it's unsafe for them to operate their trains. Shut down commuter trains (in a safe manner) and you'll probably get some headlines.
