How long can a train block a crossing in Texas?

Open tickets?

The common census is 10 minutes. 10 minutes is correct. I often travel "by train" to Gainesville, and to Amarillo. There is a particular place on our subdivision that has the same set up as what you described. We have a siding right in the middle of the town with 1 road goes right through the middle of our siding that separates the north side of town from the south. The school and fire station are on the north, ambulance and police on the south. If we pull in the siding, we HAVE to cut our cross and clear the crossing so that emergency vehicles can cross if need be. If however we're waiting for a train to go by and it's less than 10 minutes, we will block it til it gets by, then leave. Keep this in mind, if a train blocks a crossing for over 10 minutes, the conductor of that train can be fined and jailed if the local law enforcement wants to enforce this. Most train crews will plan accordingly to not block that main road though, but things happen sometimes that's out of our control. We don't do it on purpose just to make everyone mad.....we don't want to go to jail or get fined..

I don't know but, if there is another crossing nearby, use that. What difference does it make if its unprotected? If the train is blocking the crossing, it'll either be out of the way soon or it's sitting still and really poses no danger at the other crossing.

How much does a monthly rail ticket cost?

I do not think there is any limit ,it just depends on how long the train is and how many engines it has. Trains do run on schedules though and are not often during times that would interfere with anything but the emergency vehicles. But they would deal with it I am sure. But if a train is running during inconvenient times for the others they just have to wait.
