Update 2017
The caboose is said to have been moved to a private property in Rio
Vista (as of 2008). Not sure if the wigwag followed.
It is possible that this is the same wigwag (or what's left of
it) that is now at the Tulare Skate
Park
.
From 2000...
Located between Fresno and Bakersfield is the town of Tulare, California.
This wigwag is on display at the
Tulare Welcome Center and operates at the flip of a switch. It appears to
be a former Santa Fe wigwag; short cantilever
and crossbuck. The Welcome Center is off Highway 99, just north of
the Prosperity exit.
It is visable on the east side of the freeway.
