Amity

Camron Settlemier caught this video frame of the Amity, OR wigwag
during it's last months in operation. It sports the same type concrete
foundation as the wigwags in McMinnvile.

Lake Oswego

Not long after catching the Amity wigwag, Camron also shot video
of this one, located in Lake Oswego. It was replaced by a full
set of gates by Summer 1999.

Yoncalla
The Yoncalla wigwag was removed on 5/31/00.
It is being saved for spare parts. The crossing has been closed.
Signal maintainer Rick Perry took pictures of it's removal.
For a play by play of this wigwag being removed,
check out this report by Larry Tuttle (with photos).

An overall view of the crossing.

Larry provides us with another photo from his site.
Here we see the Amtrak Talgo run through the Siskiyou line on June 18, 1999 as it passes the wigwag in Yoncalla.

Another view of the wigwag located in Yoncalla right off of Highway 99 near the station.

Glendale

This is a shot of the same signal when it was still in service. Kodachrome
SD-9E 4377 passes by the Mollie St. crossing in 1989, a few years
before SP dumped the Siskiyou line.
