(UPDATE FEBRUARY 9, 2016) I Caught a train using this line for the first time in 7 years https://youtu.be/5Q6CFg8H1hQ
(Updated March 15, 2016) Got this signal in action with train http://youtu.be/HAmFhy-bXkE

This is just a video of a signal I found under the light rail bridge that was used for a UP spur track that went to the Sacramento Bee News Paper Plant. I was surprised to see that the signal had a Safetran Type 1 Electronic Bell. That makes it that their are two Safetran type 1 E-Bells left in Sacramento County. The one here and another on Florin Road on the Sac Sub. The signal is owned by SACRT (Sacramento Regional Transit). The spur track comes off the Sac Sub but the spur track is abandoned now so their is no chance of me getting this signal active. The signal equipment and lights are 12" GS LEDs inside Safetran frames, Safetran brackets, Safetran signal base, and Safetran Type 1 E-Bell. R Street has random rails also that goes through it which are from the old Sacramento Valley Railroad Line. The tracks are now buried and parts are removed but in some parts of R street they still show. The tracks also run next to this UP spur track. The SVRR was active back in the 1850s.
