UP 637 Florin Flyer Switching- Mather Field/Mills Station West Pedestrian Crossing Rancho Cordova CA

Mar 4, 2024 1:58pm
Union Pacific Railroad Florin Flyer Local freight train starts their switching moves after disconnecting from the restof their train with the needed cars running through the Mather Field/Mills Station west side pedestrian railroad crossing on the UP Placerville Branch headed to the switch to shove onto the UO Mather Spur track to go work Pacific Supply with a 1 car dropoff then come back to the Placerville Branch through the Mather crossing(s) again to reconnect to their train parked and will proceed east again after this here in Rancho Cordova, California. Somehow a crossing time out was activated when the train was fully on the spur track.

Meanwhile, A few Sacramento Regional Transit light rail trains on the SACRT Gold Line arrive and depart the Mather Field/Mills Station during the process of freight switching. At the end of this month, construction starts on the outbound platform here and the first weej of April follows construction on the inbound side which is the side I'm setup at. Platforms will be converted to high platforms for low floor LRV's. Next weekend, Zinfandel Construction is to be completed that this station follows. All stations would be converted in the eastern county region after this station is complete and SACRT will work on the remaining Midtown and Downtown stations left to work on on the Gold, Blue, and Green Lines.
