After leaving Stockton. I ORIGINALLY came up here hoping to get ahead of the UP Z-Train as I wanted to get it at this crossing and the BNSF following it after it up at Franklin Blvd but ended up missing the UP Z-Train because people can't drive on the freeway causing an accident that made me miss the Z-Train which messed my plans up but glad I was able to get the BNSF here at this crossing as now I finally got a video for this crossing meaning I got all Sacramento County Sac Sub crossings now. I'm planning on making an Sac Sub Sac County crossing in order compilation video for the past year that I keep having to delay because I still have to get two more crossings that I've filmed before but had a major change which are Elverta Rd with a new E-Bell and Franklin Blvd with a new Bell sequence and I can't make it until I get those new changes at each since bells are a major change. It's hard to get this crossing with my limited time as the Sac Sub itself is a near dead line so each tike I am able to go out somewhere near the Sac Sub railfanning on another line I monitor the Sac Sub to and theirs always nothing for me to come get on the Sac Sub. I came up here after Stockton since I knew of two trains coming north on this line and would of got Franklin Blvd with this crossing and would just have Elverta Rd left but nobody. If I would of been able to get this crossing earlier in the year it would of been before the changes and would of been done and no telling how long it's going to take for me to get an updated video of those crossings and no telling if the long wait will add crossings that will have changes I would need to get first as I'm trying to have a mostly updated compilation video. Twin Cities Rd on this line had a light replaced but one light can be considered minor but bells are major. This screw up really messed my day up this day especially when I'm trying to make another video that I keep having to delay.
Burlington Northern Santa Fe northbound manifest freight train passes through the Desmond Road railroad crossing on the UPRR Sacramento Subdivision main line in Galt, California. I caught this train switching in Stockton also at S Pilgrim St. This crossing is an UPRR early 2010s signal build install with everything original from install.
