| Indiana Wigwags |
Sullivan |
This would have to be the king of all wigwags! What you
are looking at is a
double Western Railroad Supply Co. wigwag with a US&S
"teardrop" bell.
It is located somewhere in the town of Roseburg, IN.
(Exact location unknown)
The rail line that it is on is the Central Railroad of
Indianapolis, formerly NKP.
Update - 10/17/05:
Looks like this wigwag is being retired. Mark Vogel sends
us this photo
of the signal being dismantled:

Roseburg is about halfway between Marion and Swayzee.
It is on the old
Nickel Plate Road that runs to Kokomo, IN.

| This signal is located on Court St. This is a Western Railroad Supply wigwag, with original style cantilever. It looks like the bell has been replaced in recent years. | |

|
| A block away you'll find this one on Main St. Basically the same type of signal as found on Court St., with the exception of a longer cantilever. |
