UP 7999 Intermodal Stack Train North, B St. Railroad Crossing, Modesto CA

[Filmed 1:07pm November 25, 2020]
This was the last catch I got yesterday at this crossing. The tracks curve on both sides of the crossing so you can't see approaching trains but luckily I just left the camera rolling so I can get it before it activates plus the crossing had an early activation so I avoided messing up on that also. This is all before I noticed the crossing is preemptive with the traffic signals and I could of seen the no right turn blank out signals turn on and lights turn green before the crossing activated. This crossing is a mixed install with the right signal being an SPRR 1980s to early 1990s install with changes to its lights and Counterweight Arms and the left signal being an knock down replacement is a UPRR mid 2010s install. There is also another crossing a block behind me on the Modesto & Empire Traction Company Railroad (M&ET Railroad) that crossing the right lane of B Street and street runs down the center of it but I don't know there schedule. The crossing is a gateless RACO style Safetran Cantilever being the #2 B Street crossing.
Union Pacific Railroad ZLCTM Intermodal Stack Train northbound passes through the #1 B Street Railroad Crossing on the UPRR Fresno Subdivision main line in Modesto California running pretty late. The switch at this crossing is a connection to a small yard and the M&ET Railroad.

I honestly like when traffic lights flash red I remember they all used to do that on this line from Modesto to Turlock I know this one does it, there one in Merced (V st), Atwater (Atwater Blvd. & Applegate - Atwater Blvd and Shaffer rd blink whenever a the crossings are activated.

I like this video can you make train at the following crossings in modesto ca: K Street I Street , and G Street please ??

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

Thanks! I will get to those the crossings but it will be a while as I'm not going right back to the Fresno Sub in Modesto yet. Keep in mind the crossings I haven't got yet I'm still trying to get so you won't have to ask. Also since its rain season if there is rain or fog this will hold me back also making it take a while before I film there again.

[@scxftrainfan7967]

I wonder where 7999 is taking those semi trailer at the middle and back of the train

[@averageguy7136]

The train is going to an intermodal facility in Tacoma, WA where the semi trailers will be removed and trucked to their final destinations.
