Union Pacific Railroad 96 job local freight train on the UP Sacramento Sub passes through the 47th Avenue railroad grade crossing with UP 1068 GP60 and an inbound Sacramento Light Rail Blue Line train with SACRT LRVs 231, 214, 203, and 213 CAF's passing 47th Avenue in Sacramento. This was my first time catching this local and it had a ex-Cotton Belt locomotive with it. This si also early for this Local to be out. This local did the job today for the 94 which had to go to Riverbank on the BNSF Stockton Sub. This was my first time catching this local the 96. It's kind of like the UP freight train and the Light Rail were racing. I also got the train knocking down the signal at Control Point South Sacramento.
