You should stop by the Queen Mary while your there ! ;) You should railfan nearby the Queen Mary, there's some activity there. I have railfanned there before and it is a hotspot ! Have you been on the Queen Mary before ?

The BNSF are ripping out the wigwags at Point Richmond this week. One is already gone, the other will likely follow in the next day or so. Very sad to see them go.

[Amiduffer]

@coxsj Damn, where's the community support that saved them the last time?

[singwith]

@coxsj do you have any update of the Richmond wig wag? I hope it's still there.

[coxsj]

@singwith Unfortunately I saw the east side gone and they were working on taking out the west side. Sad to see them go. Boom gates had been in  place for a while so the wig wags were just ornamental. Pity they could not have just left them there.

that bridge "Gerald Desmond Bridge" was built in 1968 and is scheduled for demolition this year

[singwith]

@shparker thanks for the info/heads up!

There's one in Anaheim on Santa Ana St. I think.

[singwith]

@Spokker yes, I have seen it and posted in here.

There's a Wig Wag crossing on Valleyfair's Train at the public crossing. There's also a Wig Wag nearby Tower of Terror at Disney's California Adventure as part of the new Red Cars openining next year. Are any original Wig Wags preserved?

[singwith]

@thomasrosiefan1 I'm not sure where Valley Fair is.

[thomasrosiefan1]

@singwith It's about 10 minutes south of Minneapolis.

[singwith]

@thomasrosiefan1 thought you are talking about in socal area!

[thomasrosiefan1]

@singwith Oh. Valleyfair is owned by the same company that owns Knotts Berry Farm.

[Surfliner6908]

have you gotten the wigwag at the grove in LA?

[singwith]

@Surfliner6908 well, that's a fake wig wag but if someone wants to see it, I might go there again with my camcorder. :P

[Surfliner6908]

@singwith well, a wig wag is a wig wag, sooo

[nodierl]

Wow, that bridge in the beginning looks just like a iconic bridge here in Panama. It is call America´s Bridge (Puente de las Americas). Greeting from Panama, great videos.

[singwith]

@nodierl Thanks!

[CSXRP]

My favorite crossing signal, it's a shame they are all gone!

[singwith]

@CSXRP we have four or five wig wags in socal. 

[Amiduffer]

Phineas Banning's legacy. I got to see the only upper quadrant Wig Wag up in Richmond.

[singwith]

@Amiduffer I saw that Richmond one but it was already out of service. :(

[steriogram007]

awesome! I think there's only 2-3 of them here in Ontario left!

[singwith]

@steriogram007 Thanks! Ontario Canada?

[steriogram007]

@singwith Yep!
