There's one WRRS Harpes wigwag here on the wrong side of the street. Union Pacific seems to own the crossing, but the FRA lists the owner as Wisconsin & Southern as of February 2005.

 

You can see the WRRS engraving on the back of the crossbuck in picture 1.

 

UPDATE: I've been told that the wigwag is no longer connected to the relay case.
UP has also removed their 1-800 emergency hotline information from the wigwag as well.

 

Pictures 1-4 were taken in early September 2006.

Just like the Poplar crossing, this wigwag has been taken out by either WS or UP.

 

Picture 5 faces East. Picture 6 faces West.

 

You can see in picture 8 where the wigwag was jackhammered out of the cement. They didn't leave the mast like they did at the Poplar crossing for some weird reason.

There is also a "TRACKS OUT OF SERVICE" sign here too.

 

Pictures 5-9 were taken sometime in late July 2007.

By the way, what's with the yellow street signs?
