Re: Delhi, CO Wig-Wag Replacment?
Another update: The wig-wag is apparently still there right now, though it is not confirmed. I read online that the wig-wag replacement is not happening until spring 2021, most likely because of the Colorado weather. It makes sense because there are a couple other crossings near me that are planned to be upgraded, but not until spring. Someone needs to get out there and verify if it's still there or not, as I have not been able to find much info online.

Re: Delhi, CO Wig-Wag Replacment?
The wigwag is verified still there! I have someone out there to take photos for the site, so I can update the site again. It is confirmed that there is a new relay case at the crossing. It is likely the wigwag will be gone by the end of February.

Re: Delhi, CO Wig-Wag Replacement (RIP 1920s-2021)
I have been told that the wigwag was replaced a day or two ago. The wigwag is now headed for its new home at the Colorado Railroad Museum. There are now gated signals at the crossing.
Rest in Peace

Re: Delhi, CO Wig-Wag Replacement?
Well, I was wrong about it being gone! The wigwag is still there, but only for another week or so. Shunt boxes have been added. The only thing left now pretty much is to install the signals and activate them.

Re: Delhi, CO Wig-Wag Replacement?
Surprised they're doing gateless signals. I guess that's an okay replacement. Still, it's sad to see the wigwag go.freebrickproductions wrote: ↑Tue Mar 09, 2021 9:25 pmWell, we can certainly give it a big fat F now...PlyingKibbles89 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 08, 2021 9:50 amWell, I was wrong about it being gone!
