Glenn Dr. Railroad Crossing - SacRT Light Rails | Folsom CA | Defective LED Insert Dimming

Jan 24, 2026
After filming the Florin Flyer, I came down to Folsom to get some crossings. I noticed the cantilever overhead has one Leotek EV Series LEDs that appeared to be a defective one dimming out, something Leokek EV Series LEDs doesn't do at all and doubt the others will do this as this is likely a defective light at the start just now showing its flaw unless something is going on with the connection to the Safetran light head itself which is still a defect and not what normal happens. After the Jackson Rd situation, this crossing is the only crossing on the SACRT system to have low pitch/tone Siemens E-Bells.

I also want to revise that this crossing is actually a SACRT early 2020s signal install used (installed) in the mid 2020s since just like E Woodward Ave is Manteca, the equipment for this crossing was ready since 2023 which is when I filmed the equipment for the first time sitting in boxes back in Aug 2023. I thought to just consider this a mid 2020s crossing as that's when it was built and used in the mid 2020s (2024 - 2026) but TBH it's not and I want to revise that it is an early 2020s (2020 - 2023). However, the yellow flashers here and at Bidwell St are maybe what a SACRT mid 2020s would look like due to totally different equipment they use which are mainly from L&W with Electro-Tech LEDs. Too bad we will never see an actual SACRT mid 2020s signal install besides those yellow flashers due to no SACRT crossing projects. Unless the postponed 29th/30th St project has signal equipment ready on hold somewhere but that could easily be early 2020s equipment too again installed late.

Sacramento Regional Transit light rail trains on the SACRT Gold Line pass through the Glenn Drive railroad crossing arriving and departing the Glenn/Robert G. Holderness Station in Folsom, California.
