Came across this one by accident. I would consider this poor wig wag to be a franken-signal. It is located at the Monroe County Fairgrounds... I assume in Ohio based on the Youtube account.

Woodland, CA, on the California Northern!

They also have more WABCO mechanisms than I can count, a vast quantity of Safetrans Hybrid Bells, unaltered Griswold signals, and a large number of ex-Espee searchlights. Now I really have to check 'em out!
EDIT: Found TWO MORE!

Seems like the general trend is that you're more likely to find a Teardrop Bell on any ex-SP line than any other line out west. Of course, that may have been mentioned before in this thread...

Okay, that's weird.. on this signal you see one incandescent 12x20 light and 3 12x24 LED lights, yet on the other signal you see 3 12x20 incandescent lights and one 12x24 LED light...ConductorWho wrote:Between Ashland and Rogue River, OR

Wow...gotta love that signal being left there in the middle of the sidewalk. Looks like the equipment box was left, as well.

Further along the rail-trail, there's a pair of older-style WRRS cantilevers, intact with 8x20 lights and all. Pretty surreal if you ask me.AndyWS wrote:Wow...gotta love that signal being left there in the middle of the sidewalk. Looks like the equipment box was left, as well.
