I haven't gotten to this wigwag yet, but I talked to a signal maintainer about it and he said that the wigwag is historical and won't be removed, unless it gets destroyed by a truck, which being on a very minor road, that's not very likely.

Wonder if the semaphores on that line are the same way?

August 2018, and it seems like some kind soul (most likely a BNSF signal maintainer) painted the wigwag over.

Oooh, there are semaphores on that line too?

Yea, though, IIRC, they're on the part of the line that's in New Mexico. Still just the same two Amtrak trains a day as well though.

Huh, I could have sworn that was a mainline. Is BNSF not sending any traffic onto the line anymore?

Don't believe they do, at least usually anyways.

Quick bump! I'm a little late on posting this, but a couple months ago, I was finally able to film the wig-wag! There are no changes that I could see. I also took pictures to update this crossing on the site, as it's VERY outdated. The wig-wag was doing great!



I also filmed it at night!



Off-topic, but I also filmed CR 76.5, the other crossing on the site!
