The Lindsay wigwag looks like it's rotting at the base.
And yeah, I remember the NCV wigwags with the Griswold lights on them.

Looks like they've since added an extra signal to the crossing...

Far side also features either RACO or Safetran 8 inch lights while the third signal uses US&S 12x20s.
They've also got another one crossing over with another 8 inch signal on the opposite side from it:

There's a few US&S wigwags in Chile.

With the exception of the Joplin Wigwag and the Wigwags of Chile, didn't all of the US&S get removed from public crossings before 'The Great Wigwag crisis of the 2000s/2010s'?

More or less, yea. The Conway Scenic Railroad has one though.

As of October 2017 the Hanford, California wigwag is still in service. I actually wasn't seeking this particular wigwag out, I just happened to be browsing Google Maps like I do a lot and a dropped the Pegman onto a random crossing.
