Wig-wag signals at railroad/road crossings were just as historic as semaphore signals. This working wig-wag stood at a railroad/road crossing in Rocky Ford, Colorado, on the old Santa Fe railroad line from La Junta, Colorado, to Denver, Colorado. |

But this historic wig-wag was not to be
around much longer.
In the spring of 2000, flashing lights and a crossing gate were being installed to replace it. |

A freight train rolled past a working wig-wag at the Canal Street railroad/road crossing in Manzanola, Colorado, also on the La Junta to Denver line. |
 |
The second and third locomotives in the freight train were painted the old blue-and-yellow of the Santa Fe railroad. The Manzanola wig-wag was replaced in 2002. |
