Amtrak California Capitol Corridor Train 543 departs Jack London Square northbound powered by Caltrain passes through the Clay Street railroad crossing street running down the Embarcadero West in Jack London Square in Oakland, California meeting Amtrak 716 pulling out of the Amtrak Yard in Oakland, California.
Since I last filmed here, the close signal had its GS Type 2 E-Bell replaced with a General Signals Type 3 Electronic Bell but this is since I last filmed the crossing. This change occurred a few years ago not recently.
