UP 1522 Tracy Turn Local - Gandy Dancer Dr. Railroad Crossing, Tracy CA

April 17, 2024 10:55am
After chasing the CFNR and catching up to the UP Tracy Turn at Whispering Wind Dr, I got ahead of them to get them at Gandy Dander Rd to get them pulling into International Paper and pulling back out with boxcars but left after this and didn't get the shoving of delivery cars as I went to setup at MacArthur.

That Safetran M-Bell sounds like it's on a few rings with a bunch of clicks.
