Seeing as they're on the WSOR, I'm willing to bet that they're long gone now...

Yep. The Saemann Ave. Wigwags of Sheboygan are the only Wisconsin Wigwags still in service. Which of coarse Google Streetview managed to capture them active last year!

It actually was. I think GSV caught it while it was shutting down.

Doesn't look like it was moving to me.

It's the way the wigwag is positioned, that is all.

Also, it is worth pointing out that this signal is set to a fixed approach, so there's your clue if you go back some years.
