Wig-Wag Hat Trick
For now, there are three surviving sets of antique magnetic flagmen signals still guarding grade crossings on the Reedsburg subdivision of the Wisconsin & Southern trackage north of Madison, WI. These signals fell out of favor in the 1950s, replaced by the standard crossbuck and flashers commonly seen. It is only a matter of time before they are replaced. So word of a Union Pacific rock train coming down the line from the quarry at Rock Springs, WI., sent me in action with a goal of capturing the modern locomotives of the UP with the antique signals originally installed by the Chicago and North Western.
