After catching them at McClure Rd, I followed the MET East and they took the turn towards the BNSF Line and yard so I went to set up here at 2nd St on the BNSF. The GS Type 1 that had a speaker hanging that came loose years ago finally died unfortunately though. It was cool finally catching the MET on BNSF next on the UP as I almost did one time.

Modesto and Empire Traction Railroad Shortline Local freight train on the BNSF Stockton Sub MET 3rd track yard lead passes through the 2nd Street railroad crossing in Empire, California.
