Where can I find out the times when trains are going to pass a specific crossing?

Question

I want to find out when trains go by specific crossings within the los angeles area south of the airport. Is there a website with the times of these trains?

I saw a train pass around 12:30pm on Inglewood near Manhattan Beach Blvd. and want to know if it is a daily train or what?

Answer 1

Even if that information were available (it isn't), it is highly unlikely you or anyone else would be given it.

I'm not sure, but I think is has to do with 9/11......

Answer 2

If someone called, or stopped me and requested info on train times at certain crossings, I'd have to notify the authorities. It's one thing to be a fan of the rails, but don't try and request too much info. It will surly throw up a red flag for you. You might just see a black Suburban with Government tags pull into your driveway.

Answer 3

Call the railroad that your talking about. Or call a Station nearest the crossing your talking about. You can also get a schedule of when the trains are due into the Station and figure it out for yourself.

Answer 4

Well, freight train timetables are no longer available to the public due to heightened security concerns (i.e., terrorism and 9/11), so unless you have/know inside sources (i.e., someone with the railroad/s) to such information it is not possible to obtain.

Answer 5

Post your question on a railfan forum, such as:

http://www.railroad.net

Someone will likely point you in the right direction, or give you a link to a site with the schedules.

Answer 6

are you talking about amtrack of the l.a. light rail system ?
your best bet is to call both of them and ask about it ,or just
go and wait at the point your talking about and figure it out from there .

Answer 7

You might want to try to call your local rail road station. I am sure that they can help you with your question.
