Another version of the rotating stop sign?

Check this out in Farnhamville, IA! Sure would be interesting to see what happens when a train switches here. Google Maps doesn't even show the line here, but has it ending just east of the town.

I think those stop signs have to be swung-out manually, as I don't see any kind of mechanisms attached to them. I'm guessing the boxes underneath contain the flasher relays for the beacons there.

IIRC, Griswold wasn't the only company with a rotating stop sign signal though. I think RRS and/or WRRS made their own version at one point?
They/Them for me, please.

BUMP
Not sure the lights work, but Streetview actually made it through at the right time to show the signs displayed while UP power was in town.
Well, :Censored:
