Theres a external link on the Griswold Signal Company page on Wikipedia for Griswold Rotating Stop Signs that include Google Maps links.
Wow, that Wikipedia page looks pretty poor. I'm surprised that there isn't a box on the top of the page saying "This article has multiple issues."
We do have a thread that I recently created for rotating banner signals that are still in service.

How about looking at Safetrans article, much worser, very light hearted creation.

It isn't that bad, the article has numerous sources. The article also features the Safetran logo and a Safetran signal.

Though said signal has a WCH gate mech.
They/Them for me, please.

The person who took the photograph said that the signal is manufactured by Safetran but the gate mechanism is from Western Cullen-Hayes.

This crossing in Spokane Valley, Washington has four Griswold cantilevers that all have Griswold Type B lights, on a BNSF line too!
They/Them for me, please.

All of the lights work, it appears, though the visor on that light is somewhat damaged.

here an abandoned pair of griswold highway flashers with the rotating stop sign that still have stop signs in fairbault mn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

https://www.google.com/maps/@44.2945543 ... authuser=0

also notice how they put exempt on the stop sign and are in the operating position but aren't on that's because they put the exempt signs on the stop signs and they modified them so that they would stay in the operating position and not turn 90 degrees like they normaly would

this is so totally ex Milwaukee road right here a they loved to use these!
very lucky to live two-three blocks away from three teardrop bells. one of which i see at least once a week!
