Alco Power thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

[@RailfanTurner]

Terrific catches!

[@markwilliams2620]

I photographed one of the last sets in Kansasville, WI many years ago. Didn't know there were rare until a later issue of MHRA's magazine told me they were gone. Glad you got this one.

Alas, this one too is now extinct-it has been removed as of March 2021 and will be part of a railroad museum’s exhibits henceforth.

That's the same line with all the semaphores too, isn't it? Man, what a historical treasure trove ...

[@Ih8kone]

I am trying to convince the National Park service to designate it as a protected area.

[@Ih8kone]

It's also the last remaining wig-wag signal in the state.

[@montanarailfanproductions8002]

That's actually not true. There's one at the Colorado Model Railroad Museum in Greeley, Colorado.

There used to be a wig wag at Holly Colorado but it was replaced with standard flashing lights.

I can remember having a wig wag in the small Ohio town where I lived back in the early 1970's. I'm thinking it originally belonged to the New York Central or possibly the Pennsylvania RR. It was an overhead type that swung from a gantry.

Nice

[@paulmatulavich7321]

I wonder many trains have passed by this signal, going back to the days of the Super Chief.

[@TheRrxing]

Only railfans can understand why I saved this to my favorites file lol

[@timakins6068]

Sounds as if the mechanism needed a hit of grease in it.
