at 0:03, if you listen closely, you can hear something - like a MSCo wigwag operating. Is that the trolley bell or another wigwag?

@ctw100s There are 4 operating wig wags

[ctw100s]

when was this wigwag built here？

[TWIGYBNSF]

@ctw100s It was my idea for building this crossing, because i work for the signal department.

I saw a picture of a signal like that, only the red light was actually a lantern that was filled with oil, I think. The "chase board" signals are interesting, too. But I added your video to my list not only for the signal but because the video contained a "radial wave" streetlamp. Does it still light up? And what state is this video from?

@TWIGYBNSF

@paullubliner Thank you for the info. I can recall several crossings in central Minnesota that used to have Griswold signals that are long gone!

@Petemonster62: Only if there are chase lights instead of the lit banner. That's on a Union "DW" like this one.

HOLD THE CAMERA STILL!

@TWIGYBNSF I'd love to volunteer to IRM. Unfortunately for now, my circumstances make such an idea impossible (I think). I don't drive, I live nearly 60 miles away in Evanston, and have no other means of getting to the museum. Do you know of any public transportation nearby? Any help would be appreciated. :)

These types of wigwags were also used in Europe, in countries such as Switzerland and Italy. They were marketed there under the Westinghouse name, because the Westinghouse Air Brake Company was the original parent company of Union Switch and Signal.

I know where you can get the right brace clamp.

I see the lamp now! Thanks Paullubliner.
