Union Pacific Railroad ZLCTM Z-Train, Intermodal Stack Train eastbound or compass northbound passes through the 47th Avenue railroad crossing on the UP Sacramento Sub in Sacramento, California. Also, an Sacramento light rail train on the Blue Line turning back over the crossover switch switching from the inbound to outbound track after turning back to the outbound or southbound direction due to a planned service disruption. Note, the crossing has been set to island circuit for the inbound light rail track only for the video so the crossing wouldn't activate when an inbound light rail approached it only in this video during the disruption.
