CFNR 505 Cortena Job Local South | Perkins Rd. Railroad Crossing, Arbuckle CA

Sep 13, 2024 11:53am On the trip southward, I setup at this crossing that I haven't filmed since 2022 which was tye first and last time I had fiomed at this crossing but from the other side. Nothing had changed here since I last did. This is one of the crossings out this way that the signals were fully installed by the CFNR but thats possibly because during the Southern Pacific days, this crossing may have been an crossbuck only crossing. This crossing has RSI equipment for its counterweight arms and base. This was after they had made a stop at ADM here in Arbuckle and had done some work.
