Tracks toward Folsom
Three sets of tracks head toward Folsom and El Dorado Hills. The paired electric line is the Sacramento Light Rail while the third line on the right is the former SP Placerville Branch, now a UP industrial lead that ends at the Hazel Light Rail station. The yellow approach signal is for the switch where tracks merge to form single track for the remainder of the line out to Folsom. The red signal in the distance is a stop indication at that switch for an approaching westbound movement. The UP branch services Schnitzer Steel in the distance, a metals recycling operation, that has been moving weekly carloads of scrap metal. The west-facing switch requires a run around move on tracks just west of Hazel Ave. The weekly turn runs on Monday afternoon.
