I'm going to try to get one of these wigwag video threads going again. I'll mainly keep to the WRRS wigwags that are most common here in the Midwest. Anyone who wants to can add the MSCo wigwags from the West.

Hi,
I shot this video during my cross-country road trip with my dad earlier this summer.

WOW, great video, that is one nice wigwag.

Hey! Thanks! Yeah, it was cool to see that the old gal still can do her job

Here are a few more wig-wag videos I just uploaded to YouTube:

the banner isnt missing, it is just hidden behind the black sign, i always thought that a US&S wigwag banner would hang stright down if it was broken.

Yeah. I'm hoping to get in contact with the museum in the next few days to see if they've repaired it to full working order.

It doesn't look like the chase lights on the North Conway wig-wag are working too well. I could see a couple of flashes on the 2nd video... or was that just your camera?

Just from looking at it, it doesnt look like it is too hard to fix.

Hi cabman701,
Yeah, the lights on the Conway wig-wag are working, just kind of hard to see. As you said, you can see the lights in the second video for a short while. I had too shoot a few videos before I could find the right angle to get the lights working.
