Action shots taken with cameras on both sides of the crossing as a WSOR excursion train passes through.
A video grab from on board another WSOR excursion in 2001, before the top bell was added.

 

Pictures 1-23 were taken July 20, 2008. Picture 24 was taken June 10, 2001.

 

The bell on the top of the wigwag was added sometime after the fall of 2005 for reasons unknown. Phil's Railroad Crossing Corner has a page  http://phil.rxrsignals.net/blackearthwis.htm that shows the wigwag before the second bell was added.
