Caught up and passed the Corning Flyer for the second time to setup here at Maxwell - Colusa Road to get this crossing for the second time ever after it has received its brand new LED lights in the second batch of LED installations on this line which were here in Maxwell as a number of crossings on this line in Maxwell didn't get their new LEDs during the batch 1 installation replacements of incandescents. Other than that, this crossing remains the same.
California Northern Railroad Genesee and Wyoming Shortline Corning Flyer Local freight train on the CFNR West Valley Sub passes through the Maxwell - Colusa Road railroad crossing in Maxwell, California.
