UP 6447 Grain Train South - McKinley Ave. Railroad Crossing, Lathrop CA - *Extra Crossbucks Removed*

May 22, 2024 11:56am
After the Z-Train got by northbound, the Union Pacififc Railroad southbound grain train on the UP Fresno Sub passes through the McKinley Avenue railroad crossing in Lathrop, California. Note also, the LRS51 waiting on the Tracy Sub off to the right and the ILTLB switching Lathrop on the Oakland Sub putting their train together. I have gotten the LRS51 switching here after this and also lather in the day I got the I-Train departure. Ahead the roadway was closed for construction.
After this, the LRS51 came through to work a nearby industry and that video will be for next week.
