Model Railroading > Planting Wig-Wags, Preserving Railroad HeritageDate: 03/02/13 02:51 Planting Wig-Wags, Preserving Railroad Heritage Author: MrMRL The California Southern Historical Society prides itself in the restoration and preservation of many aspects of railroading's timeless history. Case in point, late Friday afternoon, CSL signal crews were found hard(ly) at work installing a pair of beautifully restored wig-wags signals for a light use industrial grade crossing on the line's Reyes Switching District. Kudos all around to the CSHS's small but dedicated group of volunteers, for their tireless work in acquiring, and restoring this pair of historical monuments to American railroads. A big thanks also to the CSL management for their shared interest and cooperation in this endeavor. Both parties hope to continue this fruitful relationship on future railroad preservation projects.

I don't know if it is at all possible to some how rig up a wire to a tortoise machine or something to make them electrically operate. Mr. MRL |
