Sacramento Regional Transit light rail trains on the SACRT Blue Line pass through the Meadowview Road railroad crossing in Sacramento, California. I did two parts of this video, one with sped up timing of the pedestrian tram blank out signals and one of the full timing of the blank out signals showing how long they are active before the light rail comes.
