  • Is this wigwag in service, or even on a railroad, for that matter? (being in a museum counts as service.)

  • @NewProfile001 This wigwag is at the transportation museum in Roanoke, VA.

  • What's wig-wag used for?

  • It is used for railroad crossings.

  • did you push with your hand?.

  • Nice example ot a Norfolk and Western Magnetic Flagman. I have 2 of them and they run on 110 VAC. Notice the unusual banner lights and the modification on the front to keep torque off the banner shaft. Regular Magnetic Flagmen have the stoppers on the inside rather than attached to the front. N&W felt that this arrangement stressed the banner shaft by subjecting it to too much rotational force. They instead contracted to have them added to the front of the signal near the banner.

  • should post this wig-wag on dan's wig wag site. they track down these wig wags and the last working ones too.

    cool
