Item last by Greg Brown Via Flickr: Late on a spring evening in May 1998, a Union Pacific intermodal train arrives at Klamath Falls, Oregon. The job is about to cross KLAD crossing, which crews have nicknamed for the local radio station that maintained its studios for many years in an adjacent building. As the northbound approaches, the ancient magnetic flagman merrily warns the world that a train is nearing the crossing. Once ubiquitous along lines of the Southern Pacific, the wig wag signal here is the last one in service on the Shasta Route.
