More wigwags found in Wisconsin! That state is only one behind California right now, but I'm sure that will change soon. Keith Huebner writes the following:

"Here are some pics of wig wags I found in Wisconsin on the Union Pacific's(ex-CNW) Adams Subdivision.

The first one is at County Trunk Highway E(two signals, one shown) and the other is CTH H(just one signal). Both roads are between Dalton and Friesland(pronounced frees-land), WI. There was a recent photo of the CHT E wig wag with train in Railfan and Railroad magazine."

Wausau

These wigwags were retired in November 2005.

UP 2747 leads loaded 3M hoppers back to the yard. They are seen here crossing
Garfield Avenue which still has wig wags well into the CN era.

Dan Kwarciany sends us these three photos of a set of
WRRS Harpes wigwags located in Wausau. They are at Garfield Ave.
This line is the former mainline of the CNW from Green Bay to Minneapolis.
It is torn up now and the only remains are in Wausau.
The CN now controls it. They just switch out the local industries in Wausau.
