It’s unfortunately gone now. Not even a trace of it left in the dirt. They redid the crossing there with new asphalt/concrete and even a new drainage ditch and this signal was in the way of that.
@@RXRMidwest on October 16th on Facebook someone named Jack Wright made a post explaining that the Missouri Highway and Transportation commission asked MNA to remove the wig wag because MNA had a hard time maintaining it in operational condition to the point where the FRA kept writing down defects combined with the road seeing barley and pedestrian and road traffic
@@murphyjenkins5042 ok. The reason I was asking was because I live quite a distance from joplin but I'm a hardcore railfanner so I'm motivated to visit this crossing.

The lights appear to be LED, a very intresting thing to see
Awesome! The bell is also a Union Teardrop Bell!
Sadly the Wig wag has been removed I went by there today and all that is left is a standard cross buck
this is so sad, 𝘼𝙡𝙚𝙭𝙖, 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮 𝘿𝙖𝙙𝙙𝙮 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙖 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣
Show proof a recent FRA report shows it’s still there.
@@RXRMidwest Can I see the report?
