UP 8604 Z-Train Intermodal North & SacRT Light Rail - X St. Railroad Crossing, Sacramento CA

June 10, 2024 12:22pm
Union Pacific Railroad ZLCTM Z-Train, Intermodal Stack Train northbound on the UP Sacramento Sub passes through the X Street railroad crossing and an inbound Sacramento Regional Transit light rail train on the SACRT Blue Line in Sacramento, California. The background burned building has been long gone since this video. In fact, the week I filmed this, they started tearing it down. After this train, I left imediantly as I went to chase the Florin Flyer while a BNSF train with a new FXE livery was 10 min behind this train. I left because it actually took an hour and a half for this train to get from Thornton for some reason and list faith that I could film the BNSF and get the Florin Flyer. I seen the BNSF coming on the live camera in Stockton but what ever caused this trains delay after it got past the BNSF train I didn't wan't to riske thinking it would be another 30 plus mimutes wait but didn't end up being that so I was dissapointed. I haven't filmed a new livery FXE yet.
