Railroad Crossing | Jefferson Street #2, Placentia, CA
Filmed April 30, 2023.
On Sunday April 30th, I've decided to check out the BNSF San Bernardino Subdivision after failing to get a train here yesterday, but I still ended up getting one at the other Jefferson Street crossing (video coming soon). I've had basically no luck this time again until about one hour or so later, when I was informed a BNSF Intermodal double stack train with two KCS (CPKC) SD70ACe were trailing on it! This was really exciting to see, especially after the CP-KCS merger. Sadly, I wish both of them were leading, though, which would have been an icing on the cake. Oh yea, another train decided to join the shot, lol.
Locomotives:
BNSF 6680 - GE ES44C4 - H3
KCS 4110 - SD70ACe - Southern Belle
