Odd Cantilever and weird setup using old US&S wig wag

Those US&S aren't a surprise anymore...

Chile kind of has a lot of US&S wigwags. Although I can't guesstimate how many that they have. Dan's wigwag site has a page for them. http://www.trainweb.org/dansrailpix/WIG_WAG_chile.htm

Appears that the cantilever protects both sides of the crossing and the old US&S wigwag just functions as a bell only signal as the lights on the cantilever are the only lights at the crossing and the sign on the cantilever is double sided. Although I'm not sure what these are. https://www.google.ca/maps/@-32.689275, ... 6656?hl=fr

This passive crossing in St Maries, Idaho doesn't have those shield things, that is unusual in Idaho.

Kind of odd that they have a private crossing sign here.
