I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area when the Coast Guard removed the fog horn at the Golden Gate Bridge and replaced it with an electronic one. The locals came unglued so the Coast Guard put the old one back. Fun Fact: You can hear the horn in the background in Star Trek II during the scene at Kirk’s apartment.
They added the better gates, but they kept the wig wags. The gates activate on a daily basis but the wig wags are only activated on special occasions, like this.

I shouldn't laugh but i am at the fact that there's such sentimental power dedicated to a railroad signal.
Nevermind. June now and I love these things.
LMAO
It's pretty cool, right? Especially in these days of such negativity. A little history appreciation goes a long way.

They are a part of Americana. Just like the drive in theater and restaurant car hops.
Our wig wags gone
49th St in Vernon, CA for anyone wondering.
Guarded an 8 track crossing for a while
They’re not the last ones in that configuration. There’s one still in mainline service in Colorado on the BNSF. Search for ‘Delhi wig wag’.
Probably the last remaining pair of wig wags is what they mean
Trains of Wisconsin yes and the last to be in place while there still is modern crossings
Still very cool
I was told Delhi is being replaced. I'm upset. it's going to a museum tho.
Now i have been informed that the removal process or whatever has started. RIP Delhi, CO Wig Wag
They should bring back the wig wags and not keep updating the railroad crossings and have a combination with wig wags and modern crossing gates
This is a lovely video :)
