I was by this railroad crossing today. I decided to go get this crossing again because I recorded it before. The train is arriving at University/65th Street station. Those black squares are old signal bases from when this crossing had an Southern Pacific Freight track also coming through here. There bases from where the old signals been when this was a 3 track crossing. Since they took that track away in 2001 they moved the 2 signals crosser to the light rail tracks. They took the freight line away because it became abandoned. This crossing is on the SACRT Gold Line. Note there is a camera on one of the signals. Try to see if you can spot it.
