One of the McMinnville
wigwags is now on display the the Yaquina
Pacific Railroad Historical Society in Toledo. It looks very much the
same as it did when it was still in service. Erik says in his letter that
this was either the 1st St or 2nd St wigwag. I took a closer look at the
photos on this site and am sure that this was the 1st St wigwag. It operates
by a push button switch. Other equipment on display there include a Georgia
Pacific steam locomotive, a SP boxcar, former SP RPO (lettered for the
Willamette & Pacific RR), and a SP cupola caboose.
