Judging by this picture, the crossing surface here was replaced after the pictures were taken.

Good update. Wish the wigwags would have hung out a little longer.

Nice pictures from Divernon, those signals are OK in their own right although it is a shame they replaced wigwags.

The Wigwag that was at Kenney St. was fixed up about 6 months before it was replaced, it was sandblasted and completely repainted, the US&S teardrop bell was replaced with the safetran bell about 1 month before it was repainted, the crossbuck was also replaced and some reflective tape was added. This signal is now preserved by a private collector in Florida. Here is the link: http://www.trainweb.org/dansrailpix/WIG ... wford5.htm
