Note:
Mark Debronski informs us that
this wigwag has
been removed. Presumably around

There are now no wigwags left in
New Mexico.

Style T-2 semaphore visible between the boxcars.

| Another view looking east from street, quite timeless actually. This wigwag happens to be a Minneapolis buit signal. The only noticeable difference is that it says "Minneapolis Minn" instead of "Los Angeles Cal" on the front of the motor box. These were built later. |

New Mexico's second wigwag is located on the boarder of
the San Felipe Indian Reservation and the Santo
Domingo Pueblo Grant.It is equi-distant between the San
Felipe Pueblo and Santo Domingo Pueblo on
the only road that directly connects these 2 towns. (in
the grand scheme of
things it's roughly equi-distant between Albuquerque
and Santa Fe).
This is another typical Santa Fe upper quadrant model.
Another image by Evan Werkema taken in 1986.
This one has had a history of beat up banners.
Notice the 2 arms that extend from the front. Presumably
"stops" for the banner.
