More classic wigwag footage

At Van Dyne, Wisconsin there existed until at least the mid 1990s a very unique crossing setup. On one side was an MSCo cantilever wigwag installed by the Soo Line (WC), and on the other was a WRRS Harpes wigwag installed by C&NW. Of course the wigwags are long gone now. If they were still there at the time CN took over WC, it wasn't for long.
Also notice that WC was combining ATSF and BN locomotives on the same railroad before BNSF existed, if only when it came to the SD45!
At the end there's a shot of Milwaukee Road 261 on one of its first excursions after restoration. This guy took all the videos I wish I had.
