I created this topic to center most of the discussion of Wig Wag signals in one centralized thread. If such a topic is deemed to general in nature, I am willing to repurpose this thread if necessary. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ANYWAYS, to kick of this thread I will share with you this very informative site dedicated to Railroad Signals. This site includes vintage Brochures and Catalogues from various Signal Companies from the early 20th Century. http://www.rrsignalpix.com/ One of these brochures is from the Western Railroad Supply Company. Under the section "Autoflag" Signals, various models of Wig Wag Signals are shown. http://www.rrsignalpix.com/pdf/WRRS_1927_ocr_sec.pdf
