After making switching moves in this video in the Wyo Siding, the California Northern Railroad Corning Flyer Job Local freight train heads southbound on the CFNR West Valley Sub passing through the (Co Rd 9) County Road 9 railroad crossing in Orland, California.

This crossing is another SP 70s era crossing that recently less than a month from when I filmed this had its incandescent lights replaced with 8 inch LEDs. Also, the 2022 Street view on Google Maps has the left signal with a NEG close bottom E-Bell which was replaced with the current WCH E-Bell sometime between back then and now.
