This
site is totally dedicated to the vanishing "Wigwag Flagman" signal. There
aren't many left. Here you can find out where they are still in service,
both on revenue generating rails, as well as museums. Pretty much
all that remain were built by the Magnetic Signal Company of Los Angeles.
Some were built by Western Railroad Supply Company (Magnetic Autoflag)
as well as the cumbersome Union Switch and Signal wigwag. Since most wigwags
that are still in service are located on the West Coast, that is mainly
what is covered here. I do welcome information from other parts of the
country however.
Currently there are over 75
pages full of photos, location information, technical, and restoration
content on this site. You may want to bookmark this page because you probably
won't get through it all in one sitting. New stuff is added almost daily.
The purpose of this site is very similar to that of Semaphores.com, to
track down what remains of these antiques that are still in service. I
may expand to other forms of early crossing signals, depending on what
kind of information I get in.
I am always looking for new
information on wigwags and their locations. If you know of one still in
service in your area, or even on display somewhere, please
let me know . I'm also looking for any technical information that I
can share on this site. |
