Wigwag Videos

[AndyWS]

I'm going to try to get one of these wigwag video threads going again. I'll mainly keep to the WRRS wigwags that are most common here in the Midwest. Anyone who wants to can add the MSCo wigwags from the West.

the banner isnt missing, it is just hidden behind the black sign, i always thought that a US&S wigwag banner would hang stright down if it was broken.

[Fairhavenbranch]

Yeah. I'm hoping to get in contact with the museum in the next few days to see if they've repaired it to full working order.

It doesn't look like the chase lights on the North Conway wig-wag are working too well. I could see a couple of flashes on the 2nd video... or was that just your camera?

[illinoistrains]

Just from looking at it, it doesnt look like it is too hard to fix.

Hi cabman701,
Yeah, the lights on the Conway wig-wag are working, just kind of hard to see. As you said, you can see the lights in the second video for a short while. I had too shoot a few videos before I could find the right angle to get the lights working.
