NS 4841 Leads Manifest BNSF Train North | Q St. Railroad Crossing, Sacramento CA

Mar 12, 2026 1:47pm I had heard earlier in the day a NS was leading a train but I didn't look into it before coming out to see what train. I was unaware the NS leader was on a BNSF train that would be coming up the Sac Sub. Come to find out while filming this video, it was this train it was leading as the first thing I saw were the flashing ditch lights. I provided some extra approach views because of the NS leader and even caught some Sacramento light rail trains running up on the Gold Lines Bee Bridge too. Norfolk Southern leads a BNSF railway manifest freight train northbound or eastbound railroad timetable wise on the UP Sacramento Sub passing through the Q Street railroad crossing in Midtown, Sacramento, California.
