A number of different organizations
participated including Operation
Lifesaver, the Pacific Transportation Federal Credit Union, a vintage
car club , and the California Highway Patrol.
Specifications of the Electo Motive Division SD-70 is shown. At
last, thank you's to vendors for donating time, services and
merchandise.
On my way home from this Union
Pacific Family Day, I drove to the
vicinity of Hobart Tower, where a UP track crosses the Burlington
Northern Santa Fe mainline tracks. A very clean BNSF 5744 was
leading a train westbound and the round sign caught my attention.
While in the shape and look of a highway-rail grade crossing sign, it
says "ARE YOU REALLY READY TO CROSS?" Please, do not
tresspass on any railroad's property. Only cross at established
crossings!
