Wig Wag Railroad Crossing in Colton, CA

Here's my latest wig wag railroad crossing video. the filming location is in Colton, California with Union Pacific Riverside Industrial Lead/Riverside Job on 12/21/10 in rainy day! This is ex Pacific Electric Red car trolley line. (Southern Pacific & PE depot in the beginning of the video.) UP 1402, 1533(it was a SP unit until beginning of 2010), 1427

Many thanks to Dan's Wig Wag RR Crossing website for finding this location & info. I think I saw every single active wig wag railroad crossing in Socal. So, What's next? Try to video other wig wags in HD.

Thanks for posting. What is left of the *active* Wag-Wags in Redlands and Colton are mostly gone.

The car at 1:17 would have got a $250 fine here, by crossing a red sign at the railroad (Netherlands) Most of railroad crossings are double here. An other train can come from other direction faster.  I think these are cool signs :D

@wackysackeman most drivers don't know to stop when they have flashing lights and the gates are down! lol

@singwith Actually, you'd be surprised based on the videos of wig wags on YouTube.

@DouglasP201 doesn't the engineer sit on the other side?
