Subject: Re: [CBQ] Center of the street wig-wags in Chariton, IA Try this link. (Is this the sort of which you speak)? This shows them in service. They were restored and now operate under FRA dispensation along with the now-common gates, bells, and lights. Richmond, California. Ken On 5/29/2022 9:14 AM, Jerold Crawford wrote: I am restoring a Railroad Supply Company center of the street wig-wag signal to match the signals that were where the CB&Q crossed the streets west of the square in Chariton, IA. I believe the streets with this type of signal was Braden and Linden Street. There were wigwag signals that sat in a pole in the center of the street. mounted to the pole in the center of the street was a light on either side that was so traffic could see there was a pole there. They were different than the ones that are on a pole on the side of the road that hung over the street like on S 8th Street and the crossing immediately north of Braden Street (the crossing is now closed). I believe these crossings were changed over to more modern signals in the 1970's. What I was looking for was information from someone that remembers these signals and whether they had bells on them and where these bells were located on the signal. I would love to have a copy of any pictures anyone may have of these signals. I contacted the Lucas County Historical Society. but I never heard a response back from them. Would appreciate any help, Thanks
