SacRT New S700s & Old - Jackson Rd. Railroad Crossing, Sacramento CA

Sep 17, 2024
Sacramento Regional Transit light rail trains on the SACRT Gold Line with 2 being new low floor Siemens S700 trains pass through the Jackson Road railroad crossing (CA SR 16) in Sacramento, California. Got some more S700 horn action at the systems only Horn Zone. My camera footage maybe a little slouched as my camera's monitor is coming loose so I can't tell if the video is leveled or not. Getting a new camera soon.
