Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

On Google maps I took notice that two wigwag crossings in Gardena CA have been removed and replaced with new signals

First is the one on Denker Avenue.

next is the one on Hobart Blvd. I remember seeing youtube videos of these crossings back when the wigwags were there, it seems they might have been removed back in 2020.

Wow. PE installs too.
The Hobart one certainly had a unique paint job too, with the white paint being octagon shaped. Almost like they put a stop sign over it when they painted the black outline. Either that, or stop signs were used to make a re-creation banner...

Denker Avenue appears to have been removed by 2017, though Hobart Boulevard lasted a bit longer. Wouldn't be surprised if Dan's site has the exact dates they were removed.

It looks like they both had that paint job, looking at the older imagery.
