Sacramento Light Rail New Siemens S700 Test Trains Meet, 24th St. Railroad Crossing Sacramento CA

May 2, 2024
Sacramento Regional Transit light rail trains pass on the SACRT Gold Line through the 24th Street railroad crossing arriving and departing the 23rd Street Station in Sacramento, California with also two Siemens S700 Low Floor light rail test trains meeting at the Bee Bridge 23rd Street side of the station. Test train cars SACRT 404 & 405 Siemens S700 were running as two single car test trains this day. After the last train, I left quick to S St to get the Z-Train coming and was chancing it filming the last train.
