After the local freight train, I left for Roth Rd on the Fresno Sub as I wanted to get a new video of the crossing after one of its mechanisms were replaced but plans changed as the coming Z-Train was rerouted off the Fresno Sub onto the Oakland Sub because they had to stop at the Lathrop Intermodal Facility as some containers had doors open on the train and the Lathrop Switcher train crew closed all the doors for the Z-Train then they continued northbound and got back on the Fresno Sub in Stockton where they turned off onto the Sac Sub where I got ahead of them and caught them at Armstrong Rd. This small section detour lead me to leave Roth Rd unfortunately and set up here from the side I haven't filmed on yet here at E. French Camp Rd. The ZLCBR doesn't use the Oakland Sub as its route this was just an emergency stop and it was best to just go to the Intermodal Facility to fix the problem. I could of got the Oakland Sub Roth Rd crossing as it had a bell change since I last filmed it but I made a split second decision and plus the Lathrop Switcher was already sitting on top of the crossing so I wasn't sure if they would clear for the gates to deactivate for a proper activation video before the Z-Train would leave which they did end up clearing it but I was already at French Camp Rd so I have to plan to get those crossings another time.
Union Pacific Railroad ZLCBR Intermodal Stack Train northbound passes through the East French Camp Road railroad crossing on the UPRR Oakland Subdivision main line in French Camp, California. This crossing is an mixed install with the right signal being an UPRR early to mid 2000s signal build install with changes to its gate barrier. The left signal is an UPRR late 2010s to early 2020s signal build install. Also northbound on the Oakland Sub is actually announced railroad wise as eastbound.
