*New Crossing Beacon Signals Not Yet Active* SACRT - Aerojet Rd. Railroad Crossing Rancho Cordova CA

April 15, 2024
I noticed this last passed Friday and came to film this video last Monday of this week. The Phase 3 section of the SACRT Gold Line, all crossings are recieving dwarf crossing activation beacon wayside signals. The currently under construction segment between Iron Point and Historic Folsom Stations. Iron Point Rd currently are the only ones in the segment active and used. The temporary closed section under construction at Natoma Station Dr, Blue Ravine Rd, Parkshore Dr, Bidwell St, Natoma St, Sutter St and Glenn will get them when everything is built there are crossings that already have and getting them installed first, they started adding them to the active section between Iron Point and Sunrise Stations as of last week which are the Birkomnt Dr, Aerojet Rd, Nimbus Rd, Marketplace Ln, Mine Shaft Ln, and Mercantile Dr crossings. The first one out of this batch was Aerojet Rd in the active Folsom phase 3 section while so far at the time this video filmed, Nimbus Rd and Birkmont Dr in that order got foundations already installed waiting on the new dwarf signals to be installed.

While I was filming this, to the east, construction was going on down at Birkmont Dr installing foundations. I also got glimpse of the Union Pacific Florin Flyer Local with UPY 651 & 617 switching down the way to the west at the Nimbus Siding performing a run-around. Sacramento Regional Transit light rail trains pass the Aerojet Road raolroad crossing on the SACRT Gold Line in Rancho Cordova, California.
