UPY 651 Florin Flyer Local - Mills Park Dr. Railroad Crossing Rancho Cordova CA

May 6, 2024 1:28pm
Union Pacific Railroad Florin Flyer Local freight train passes through the Mills Park Drive railroad crossing on the UP Placerville Branch in Rancho Cordova, California. This crossing had a super early activation activated as tge train was reconnecting at Mather the gates dropped but luckily went back up before the train got here and reactivate at the approprate time. Seems like more crossings are deveoping tail ring malfunctions or early activations along this branch line track. Last time I filmed here, I caught the tail ring after the freight train passed.
