That wig-wag looks very different to the ones
I've seen on other video clips.

Is that a small slug engine (thats what I have known them as) an engine with no cab? They were used for extra power without the need for a whole engine (cab and all) back in the day.

WHY DID THE TROLLEY 5TOP BEFORE CROSING?
-
Nice vid of a running 'Flagman! The surrounds for these signals, orig. developed in-house by the Southern Pacific to address accidents on their Pacific Electric division, had several variations, such as the yellow "trolley" version shown here; the black-cross-on-white came about in the 1930's.

No, it's a perkins 60kw gen set with a set of rectifiers shoved inside to output 600vdc nominal. It sags... allot...

Ah I see, thanks!

This is now owned by the Willamette Shore Trolley but when freight trains ran here, the line was owned (as were the wigwags) by the Southern Pacific.

Must be a different RR, I think the black and white ones might be AT&SF, but I'm not sure

There's not much action in a wig-wag crossing
by looks of it.

what was that thing infront of the trolly?
someone7974 1 year ago
@someone7974 - It's a power generator. This line was converted to from electric interurban to freight in the mid 1930s and as a result, the overhead catenary wires were removed so the trolley has to get its power from somewhere.

I meant that the sound timing is off.
These signals ring at the extreme of each swing.
Thanks,

I checked the original video file on my hard drive and the sound timing matches it here. I guess it's just the way these wigwags work.
