Wisconsin Wigwags

Bob Bray writes... "I followed a tip from Pioneer-Zephyr and tracked down a gaggle of WRRS wigwags, all within 2.5 miles of each other. This was CNW track running from Sheboygan to Fon Du Lac, WI. It now serves as an industrial spur for the UP just to the west side of Sheboygan Falls from Sheboygan. The track runs along side Hwy PPmost of the way, and right down the east bound lane for 3 blocks in Sheboygan Falls, which is a picturesque little town that could be interesting from a modelers viewpoint.

I'm not sure how many of these are functional, but if all the bells work you'd have no doubt a train was approaching as the 2 signals on Hwy 32 and the Buffalo St. signal are within a short city block of each other!"

Both signals are Western Railroad Supply "Harpes" type wigwags.

John Van Wyk tells us that these signals have been removed due to UP closing this line (8/2007)
