UP 726 Florin Flyer Local Switching - Mather Field Rd. Railroad Crossing, Rancho Cordova CA

[@timeforbeans]

Too bad there's not an Engineer on that job. RCL's across public roadways...ugh. Interesting Crossing set up. Little surprised there is no STOP board for the Train to activate the crossing. We have some here in Fresno, but the Train has a STOP board, to activate the gates and then crosses the road. Thanks for sharing this was pretty cool to watch. I have seen that UP 726 in Fresno a lot.

Especially reminded of Vermont @Gardena here in SoCal; there was a recent (non-fatal) 🚗-train 💥 at that intersection.

Always interesting to see some of the local fauna in action. In other news, did they never think about putting a crossing circuit on that spur?

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

No plans as of now it include it.

@@MobileRailSpotterRxR I question the wisdom of this decision

Hey i have a question do railroad crossings active when a train does that

1:59 dangerous crossing failure. You can clearly see how close to a collision with the white SUV the locomotvie came even when going at a snails pace. 2:21 premature lifting of the barriers. Such a crossing should never have become a silent zone. An acciedent is just waiting to happen.

This isn't a quiet zone for freight trains. The spur track isn't included in the crossing circuitry. Its been like that for decades here.
