After making it in time here befire they turned off the Lombard onto the industry lead into the Anhueser-Busch (Budwiser) yard. This is a crossing I've wanted to film for a while. This crossing is another former SP era crossing from the 70s with updated modern equipment. Unfortunately, camera equipment was cooperating and you know with me nowadays, timimg will make sure something goes wrong in a key crusial video. I disabled the stabilization as I had it on earlier on my AX53 Camera due to in case one of the previous crossings if I would have to get out handheld to avoid missing an activation earlier this day. BUT, I had to change my camera battery and when I did that, it didn't save that I had stabilization off and turned it back on. Therefore, my camera stabilization bugged out in this video as the AX53 has a bug on a tripod if stabilization on and resulted in vibrating footage that I edited and applied stabilization in parts as the top of the video wouldn't edit in stabilization. This angered me as this is the only video I got of this crossing. As of this being published, I no longer use the Sony AX53 and now the Sony FX30 but it wont be till early 2025 when my main catch videos from that camera make it to published status. Now I have to settle for this shakey footage from this side as if I get this crossing again, it will be from the other side. Fortunately, after a post I seen before I came here and during this catch confirmed to me that the crew uses the power from here to switch some industries before they take the UP power to Napa Junction.

California Northern Railroad Local passes through the Cordelia Road railroad crossing in Fairfield, California on the CFNR Industry Lead Track into the Anheuser-Busch Plant (Budwiser) Yard to tie the power down and grab another train afterwards.
