After Amtrak, I ended up catching the BNSF Northbound Z-Train passing through ahead of another Amtrak train. This crossing owned by BNSF Railway is an BNSF early 2010s signal build install with changes to its gates. The bell across the way is still dead and has been for about two plus years.
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Intermodal Stack Train Z-Train northbound passes through the 1st St Railroad Crossing on the BNSF Stockton Subdivision main line in Escalon, California. At the end was MoW equipment.
