For the first catch out in French Caml this day, I setup on the other side of this crossing. After waiting a while, I seen a southbound headlight approaching and looked like an Norfolk Southern unit then I seen the headlight also approaching northbound. Not knowing what train will crossing first, I decided to run to this side of the crossing so the Norfolk Southern leader wouldn't be blocked but I could of stayed on the other side. I assume the NS leader was the ISELC?. The second one is the ZLCTM though. The ZLCTM and ISELC are counterpart trains also as the ZLCTM was the ZLCBR and the ISELC was the ZBRLC & ZBRLA.Right after this, I caught a train race of the Tracy Turn and a Manifest both northbound.
Norfolk Southern leads Union Pacific Intermodal Stack Train southbound and the northbound Union Pacific Z-Train stack train intermodal pass through the French Camp Road railroad crossing on the UP Fresno Sub in French Camp, California.
