I hate waiting for cars on the railroad track. This would be so simple to implement. Have sensors in a train and near the tracks that send data to a digital readout above the tracks with the number of trains counting down to zero. If nothing else, you could get a sense of time to wait in a direct
and simple manner.

Just tell the time it will take. You can also use it for a warning when a train is approaching "10 seconds till impact, better get off the tracks", "9 seconds ...", ... |

I like it. I'd like to see both the car and second countdowns. |
