UP 1495 Madera Local | W Pecan Ave. (Ave 13)/Granada Dr (Rd 25) Railroad Crossing, Madera CA

Jan 20, 2026 12:25pm After getting ahead of the Madera Turn, I got here in enough time to still record but not setup my tripod fully. Thankfully, this is an island only circuit crossing otherwise I wouldn't have made it for the activation. This is the 2nd video I've done of this crossing, filming it a month prior to this video from across the way. As I arrived here, I unexpectedly saw a Loram Rail Grinder sitting in one of the siding tracks off the UP Madera Spur that was getting filled up with water likely went out onto the Fresno Sub main line later at night. It met the Madera Local.
