Wig Wag Crossing Signals

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

Chuck:
Wig-wags were manufactured by the Magnetic Flagman  Co. in the  20's.
A pair protected the U.S. 17 crossing west of Bridge 7.  By the  60's,
they were no longer state of the art grade crossing protection and, in  fact,
they became a signal maintainer's nightmare -- lots of moving parts  to
fail.  There was one at North Street in Waverly,  VA that last  until 1976
(or later).  On the Fort Wayne Division there was one at Roanoke,  IN
that was cantilever-mounted - installed by the Wabash, I'd guess.
