Point Richmond Wig Wag Resurrection ~ 2019

[@WilliamLutz-dj9zo]

Very cool that the cover was off so that we could see the inner workings.

Railroad crossings with signs and bells and wigwags are good

[@anthonytaylor8895]

I used to live in that some area and I've never seen those railroad crossings activated before. I am very proud that they finally activated these old Wig Wag Railroad Crossings. Railroad history at it's finest.🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍☺☺☺☺☺

Nice to see wig-wags operating again. Loved seeing the cases open to see the mechanisms at work. Long may they swing! Stay safe and healthy.

Love everything about a wig wag

[@danosf]

Nice video! Thanks for making this.

[@anthonytaylor8895]

That was the best video ever. I love the Railroad Crossing Signals.❤❤❤❤❤

[@eva.cassidy]

Too bad they can't be connected to the crossing circuit to fire up when the standard flashers run.

[@royalflush5000]

They are, but they'll only run during special events.

[@Rubycon99]

I'm not going to complain too much because I'm just happy they weren't scrapped... but yeah, I wish they'd run in normal operation too. Really cool neighborhood, I'm glad the community was able to save these.

[@piktureit]

I hope those wig wags are staying

[@keithode1737]

They are. They're permanent displays.

[@CalifornianRailfan]

thats cool

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

That's an awesome in successful restoration do the wigwags work in tandem with the present modern gate signals?

[@TonyVRailfanning]

Really cool to see these working, do they run when a train approaches or only when someone activated them?

[@jeremybrooks6705]

When train approach

[@GhostbustersFrozenEmpire2024]

No they don’t

[@jeremybrooks6705]

Yes they do

[@jeremybrooks6705]

They activate with the modern gates

[@GhostbustersFrozenEmpire2024]

@@jeremybrooks6705 They actually do not activate the only activate on events

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

Are the wigwags still there are they gonna be in working order for many years to come?

[@keithode1737]

They'll be around for many years to come. This is supposed to be an annual event, Covid-19 notwithstanding.
