Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

Luke says;

Unfortunately, according to the FRA report, it's a Union Pacific crossing, and it only see 4 trains a day, all of them at a speed limit of 10 MPH. :Awww

FRA reports on train actvity are rarely accurate on secondary lines. That track has jointed, fairly light rail. The track structure and right-of-way look very well maintained though. The 10 MPH limit is standard for residential areas. Both the BNSF & UP mains through Bakersfield ride on 138 ribbon rail, but are limited to 10 MPH when they pas through the residential parts of old town.

I like trains, but I like then a little further from my bedroom.

Whatever the truth is, don't expect hardcore action.

It's definitely not the South Transcon, that for sure.

It is intriguing the way that flower bed is around the signal.

It reminds me of a crossing in Westport, OR, with a tiny flower bed around each signal base!

Tidewater Drive? That reminds me of Tidewater Southern that used to go through Manteca!
