Won't stop them. The other day I saw a vehicle pop out between King Street trio and earthwinds. Plus the hundreds of cars I've seen going down the tracks to and from the parking lot. I think the only thing that will stop them is a severe tire damage spike, and even then I doubt it will work.
Automatic retracting bollards between the rails. Hook them into the railway the same as a normal crossing: when crossing gates would be active, lower the bollards. One on each side would pretty thoroughly block off the freight track from motor vehicle traffic. If needed, put normal permanent bollards on either side of the track, as close as possible without infringing on the freight loading gauge.
