Wigwag Photo Collection


Douglas Peterson
 Douglas Peterson has a collection of wigwag photos that goes back to the mid 1960's. While most of the photos were shot by him, he also includes a few from friend Jim Lekas. Most were taken in the Lodi, Ca. area on Southern Pacific's Lathrop Sub (Western Division). Included are several locomotive "rarities" that he and his friend captured during those years...
