I see news stories about trains blocking roads for hours lately. What do the railroad CEOs do about these complaints?

"April 14, 2022
Trains block roads for minutes, hours and sometimes days here in Atlanta and across the state. Our investigation found it's only getting worse.
There were 131 train complaints in 2020. In 2021 that jumped to 471. This year, we're already at 384 complaints in Georgia. That's quadruple this same time last year."
