Well this is still a boo boo job! They could of even put the flashers on the traffic signals all ugly like they did some of the other crossing and that would have been a LITTLE better than just one gate and the 4 way programmed blinking. But since the vid is gone i guess we will never find out!cabman701 wrote:Well I was going to watch the video... but it says it has been removed.cabman701 wrote:I would have to assume the traffic lights are programed to go 4 way red when a train is coming. I'll have to watch the video again when I get home and see and see if that is true (I'm at work now and YouTube is blocked here).

Re: Locations Of Currently Existing US&S TEARDROPS
Yeah... if you follow that line east from the location in the previous posts you will find a lot of older signals. I found quite a few Raco cantilevers, wooden "A" frame gates, and even one crossing with Griswold cantilevers. Way too many to post.bigphilliestyle2000 wrote:most of that line that you linked has teardrops on the signals just about all the way to Sanger! Good catch!
I would love to run a train down those tracks and see all those old signals in action.

Looks like a former US&S or WRRS wigwag.
