Western Railroad Discussion > OK, Here's a whereizit for ya'llDate: 05/15/10 14:10 OK, Here's a whereizit for ya'll Author: ns2557 Haven't seen to many of thee over the years. This one is on an active line, not sure of train frequency tho. Actually, I think the only place I have seen any of these is west of the Mississippi Rvr, don't recall any east of here. Good luck. B

He said, "the only place I have seen any of these is west of the Mississippi Rvr, don't recall any east of here." He didn't say where this one was- he planted a red herring. mapboy Date: 05/16/10 01:26 Re: OK, Here's a whereizit for ya'll Author: locotrol I think there's also one in Chatanooga on the trolley loop at the Chatanooga Choo-Choo. -- Keith Thompson

When I was a kid back in the mid-1950's, there were wig-wags just like this one at every grade crossing on the old C&NW line that ran through Baraboo, WI, definitely east of the Big Muddy. Date: 05/16/10 16:56 Re: OK, Here's a whereizit for ya'll Author: ns2557 locotrol Wrote:
