After the line’s abandonment I’m hoping that these wigwags were preserved in someway in a good museum something is distinctive as the retractable banner type wigwag signal is very cool especially that the wigwag banners are still the original red color versus the white and black that came later
Hi Brad. I found one of your wig wag captures. Freaking awesome to imagine that there were some still around and in service 13 years ago. It was great to meet you today. Thank you for taking the time to chat. Stay safe. James.
@bradpville yes we caught 438 on its way into London. We were wondering why it was taking so long for it to return back headed to Windsor. We figured something was up. I guess it was worth the wait. LOL
Your guys' defect detectors sounds funny here it sounds like this "NAME OF RAILROAD" detector MP "MP" NO DEFECTS REPEAT NO DEFECTS TOTAL AXLE "AXLE COUNT" OUT! Canada's a funny little country
I'm guessing this was filmed near Tilbury on the Caso Subdivision. The wig wags were removed that same year. If these were on the Caso Subdivision then that would mean these were the last wig wags in Canada. And there is under half a dozen left in use in the U.S. Mainly in Wisconsin, and in other Midwest states. But there is a pair on Colorado that is in the middle of nowhere still being maintained properly. So there will be at least 1 in regular use.

Damn , I miss this old line. Awesome wig-wags 👍
A future Roblox game to make the line railfanable again
Great catch Brad. I was very surprised when we caught this in London at Denfield Bridge yesterday.
Like that Old Railroad crossing
Wow!
Awesomeness!
This railroad track was abandoned and these wig wags were removed
enjoyed the video!

awesome crossing and catch
wow those cars are really hitting the grade crossing hard
1:08 DISTORTED TRAIN 🙀🙀😵😵
@crazeejay2006 I cant believe this much power was on the run. Did you catch 438 in on the same day? I believe it was just a GP9 as the lead unit.

That's an interesting complaint.
@nawrock It looks like they are sitting right on top of the road lol
What Street Is This
Gleeson Line, East of Tilbury
This railway was abandoned in 2011.
The BC Railfan I’m guessing it’s a trail now

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! :(
and the last ever train on this line was in 2012
What line was this?
CN CASO Sub
The reason why the my had the door open the front of the train is that it’s to hot and they need to open the door so they can get air
