In the evening of May 17th, I came to White Rock to do some railfanning, catching 3 trains and filming two crossings. For my first train, I did a re-recording of this crossing as the one from last year turned out poorly, so I rejected it. Not long after arriving, I saw that a northbound BNSF manifest was approaching the US-Canada border, in which it came through White Rock a few minutes after crossing the border. Here we see this northbound BNSF manifest making its way through White Rock with its usual orange GEs for power.
This crossing is pretty standard for BNSF equipment wise, although the pedestrian crossings in White Rock always had a neat variety of different setups. Like the rest of the crossings in White Rock (aside from the Pier crossing, which had gateless signals beforehand), this crossing originally was passive before BNSF upgraded all the crossings in town to modern BNSF-spec Siemens signals in 2019. Since then, there have been no visible changes to the signals.
