Re: Revisiting Jim Speaker's Photos -- SP SW1500 in Stockton

This crossing was likely the reason the Oakdale Local normally ran late at night. Besides the normal crossbucks and gates, there were large overhead red neon signs reading "STOP - TRAIN." In all the nights I drove 99 to work in Stockton, I only saw the SP going across once.

I have a (dim) memory of driving on Interstate 80 west of Salt Lake City in 1977 and coming across an at-grade crossing of the Salt Lake Garfield & Western. It was protected by nothing but a pair of crossbucks, but the track obviously hadn't been used in years.
