Kahl Road Wigwag |
| Description: |
Another WRRS "Harpes" style wigwag with a little different setup than the others in this album. It's the only signal at this crossing, and is on the wrong side of the road with crossbucks on both sides of the post. The post also has old "barber-pole" stripes remaining on it. Finally, up until about 2006 the only bell was the one on the middle of the mast. Then the one on the top was added, not sure why since both of them sound! |

Old Timer |
| Description: |
Another once-ubiquitous relic of fallen flags that has been eradicated even faster than wigwags and Griswold rotating sign signals. The Milwaukee Road used a lot of these 45-degree crossbucks. Now this is one of probably less than half a dozen still standing along an active line, at the crossing used by Chase Lumber on the Canadian Pacific's M&P Subdivision. |
