-----------------
Unfortunately the Reedsport , Oregon wigwag is gone. It does kind of make you wonder if there are any Wigwags that we don't know about left on rural crossings on a dirt road.

-----------------
The Round Prairie , Oregon wigwag in the Cow Creek reservation has also been removed, but it has been replaced with an interesting cantilever signal and a normal mast signal.

The Dallas, Oregon wigwags have been removed.

As of April 2016, the Riverwood Rd Wigwag on the Willamette Shore Trolley is still in service.

The Macadam Bay Yacht Club and Nebraska St./Willamette Moorage Park wigwags were apparently taken out by cars towing boats, I don't know if they were damaged beyond repair and if they will return to service.

The bell on the back probably broke and the SJVR didn't want to fix it. At least it wasn't replaced!ZachL wrote:With a GS bell attached to it.ToledoRailfan wrote:As of May 2016, the 7th St. wigwag in Sanger California is still there.

Re: Locations of wigwags
Here is a view of the Sellers Rd. Wigwag before the crossing was upgraded, I remember when I was a child browsing the site and Dan's Wigwag site I really liked this crossing because of the homemade banner and the crossbuck.

Here is the signal now, it is on display on a rail trail and is activated by a push button.

For I believe a brief time the signal while on display actually had the homemade banner. This isn't new information to me, I just thought it would be fun to share!

Re: Locations of wigwags
I wouldn't quite call that an "upgrade," but rather a closure. Sellers Road got moved over so that it wouldn't have had to cross the tracks at all.ToledoRailfan wrote:Here is a view of the Sellers Rd.
