CFNR 2401 - *New 8" LEDs* 4th St. Railroad Crossing | Davis Local North, Davis CA

June 17, 2026 After picking up their train cars from the UP Martinez Sub pass interchange siding tracks, the CFNR proceeded back onto their line but with a stop at a red signal approaching 3rd St on the east leg of the wye. I noticed that 3rd St doesn't have an early activation if the train approaches on the wye with a red signal aspect and only when it changed green, 3rd St as well as 4th St and 5th St all activated even without moving the train and then canceled out 4th and 4th St's so the crossing interconnection is obvious here. I don't think every freight crossing is interconnected with wayside aspect signals. Also, this crossing had all its incandescent lights replaced with new 8 inch Electro-Tech LEDs as the CFNR is replacing all its incandescents along the West Valley as far as I know so far and don't know if so anywhere else. California Northern Railroad Genesee and Wyoming Shortline Davis Job Local freight train on the CFNR West Valley Sub passes through the 4th Street railroad crossing in Davis, California and an activation and time out cancel caused by a green aspect and not train movement but registering a stopped train in the block.
