Wigwags from the past (2) |
Gardena (Rosewood) |
Mission Inn Road
This wigwag had it's motor box and banner removed.
Nathan Gonzales confirmed this on 9/18/00.
This one was located on Mission Inn Road. Notice the abandoned ATSF depot in the background. |
Another view. For some reason the motor box was moved back on the cantilever about 1 foot. I'm guessing there is a lot of truck traffic through here, and there was a problem with clearance. |
Riverside, Ca is located about 60 miles southeast of Los Angeles. Karl
Wichmann
sent in these three photos of the two wigwags located there. He says
that this is a former
SP spur that once served the old Sunkist packaging plant and several
other wearhouses nearby.
The line is now out of service, only the wigwag on Third St remains.
Another view of this wigwag from Evan Werkema can
be seen here.
This double set stood at Athens Ave. and 124th
St. I'm guessing
that this is an old PE branch line, now part
of UP. It's probably closer
to Compton than Gardena. They were finally removed
around
9/18/00.
