JPBX 325 & 336 Caltrain Trains Meet | *Hinged Gates* W Meadow Dr. Railroad Crossing Palo Alto CA

Описание: Nov 4, 2025 11:18am
Caltrain commuter rail trains meet here at the West Meadow Drive railroad crossing on the JPBX Caltrain Peninsula Sub in Palo Alto, California. This is one of several Caltrain crossings that have been converted to hinged gate crossings due to the new above OCS wiring for the EMU Stadler trainsets and additional reasons. This is the second crossing I've filmed with hinged gates.
