Here's a question for you all.... Does any one know how many wig-wags remain in service in the u.s.a? I was lucky enough to stumble across one in Manzanola, Colorado last year but it has since been removed. Thankfully, I shot plenty of video before it was removed. Incredibly, the BNSF left it up for a short time ( still operating) after the new gates and lights were installed, which really made a wonderful video. <br />for the new people I have seen on the forums who may not know what a wig-wag is, it is an early railroad crossing device that has a bell and a round disk. as the train approaches, the disk swings back and forth and the bell is activated. some have lights as well.
