Here's a video of Union Pacific El Segundo Job in Hawthorne, CA and Los Angeles on 3/15/16. (and 1/19/16) in 4K quality. I posted a HD version of this video before. • The Hawthorne Wig Wag ...

Glad to see the ol' wig wag still wiggin' and waggin'. But it just kills me to see those genys so tagged up. Great video, Snuffy.

Better tagged up than scrapped.

I've worked with junksets for many years. Better scrapped than tagged. We are experiencing failure frequency that i think is greater than older locomotives that have been in service for over 30 years. I haven't seen actual numbers but when you have several 30 year old SD38-2's that break down less that a brand new RP20SD something is wrong! These RP20's were attached to highway funding bill under a grant to the state of Illinois with the promise that the SD38's would be scrapped. We had a dog and pony show with the currennt county board commisioner and I shook hands with her and met some other people who's names i don't know. All i could think of is how much the state wasted their money with this purchase. We had already had one or two RP20's in service already and i saw the labor pains of problems already. A gift from the previous administration.

Are those new paint schemes for the Union Pacific? Colorful little buggers aren't they? Loved the sneaks hanging from the wig wag signal, nice touch. You Californians have got it going on.

Awesome video, Snuffy! Will they remove those wig wag's? Because I really don't want them to. Wig wag's are the most rare crossing signals you could see.
@therookie92766 жыл бұрын
Matthew The Railfanner Probably. There is still some chances. If they do remove it, I hope they atleast put a Western Cullen Hayes bell.
