The relay case. Notice it has both UP and WSOR labels. UP still owns this line, but it is currently on lease to the WSOR. |
Video still of one of the wigwags in action. A train was not coming, but the sudden restoration of electrical power following an outage in the area caused the wigwags to falsely activate for about 20 seconds.

Another video still of the malfunctioning wigwag. |
Pictures 1-11 were taken on July 10, 2007.
Taken August 9, 2007 for a south/eastbound train loaded with ballast from the quarry at Rock Springs. These are the trains that have Union Pacific engines but run as WSOR trains between Rock Springs and Janesville.
