Flag stops used a semaphore as I recall to alert the train of a 
passenger desiring to board.

Appears to be a Wig Wag base . Why its next to the station I don't 
know. May have just been
discarded there.

   I've uploaded five photos from October 2010 which   show the remnants 
of the N&W depot at Prospect, VA.  It's been a   while since I looked 
at these images and I forgot just how bad the condition   of the 
structure really is.  I'm inclined to say it would make more sense   to 
tear down what little remains and build a replica.

   Question about this image in particular.    Does anyone know exactly 
what this concrete base was used for?
