So finally we meet! (well, actually
at the pay phone, but you get the idea!) Larry Tuttle next
to the Tolo wigwag. Still a little
time left to do some exploring, so we move on to Gold Hill.
For more info on this wigwag, refer
to my site, this signal's been to hell and back!
But first I had to get a picture
of Goldray Dam.
The CORP line runs through the
upper right of the picture.
The wigwag would be just to the
right of the dam.
Lower Table Rock in background.
Quick stop just north of Gold Hill
to get a shot of these blades. Signal #4597.
There's another set of semaphores
about a mile north of these,
but inaccessible. They are visible
from the road however.
Then we're off to Hugo.
Hugo wigwag.
 for pole lines. Signal #4883 |
This photo shows the same semaphores when they were still in service. Note the unfinished Electrocode box to the right of the track. The double set of blades to the left are the same signal as the one pictured in the last photo, lower right in photo. Photo courtesy of Larry Tuttle and appears on Alpha Rail Pages. Larry has a play by play of these semaphores being removed on his site. Check it out! |
Thanks again to Larry for showing
me around this area. Darkness fell a little too soon,
so it was time to head back to
the room in Medford and get a hold of Rick Perry.
We had planned on meeting up the
next day to check out Roseburg.
Another busy day ahead!
