Re: Unusual sight at a railroad crossing in San Pedro CA.

just a few hours ago I was in San Pedro and noticed that the cantilever signal on Pacific Ave and N Front Street was removed, the smaller signal is still there but it might be on the chopping block too.

Re: Unusual sight at a railroad crossing in San Pedro CA.

Just went back to San Pedro earlier tonight. the Red Car is still out of service and now it looks like several crossings were taken out going toward where Ports O'Call was at.

Also I did see a rare signal activation there too.

Re: Unusual sight at a railroad crossing in San Pedro CA.

Hey all, sorry for the necropost but I just got back from San Pedro, the Red Car line is still out of service but I think I know why, Ports o call is being reconstructed and all that area is sealed off. Tracks leading up to the construction area are severed.

Also chance to see an active crossing ...
