Another return trip on 03-22-22 shows a couple pictures of the former Delhi, CO wigwag, which is now at the museum.



Before 2017, the crossing only had the wigwag. For some reason, the CRRM decided to install modern gated signals here.
Turns out the gated signals came from a BNSF crossing in Wyoming. The relay case even has the BNSF info on it still.
The museum also has two wigwags as of 11-25-21. The first one came from US 287 in Lafayette.
The other came from CR 88 in Delhi. It arrived at the museum sometime in June 2021.

Pictures 1-30 were taken on 10-31-20.

Pictures 31-52 and the video were taken on 05-15-21.

Pictures 53-55 were taken on 03-22-22.
