Old wig wag crossing that used to be near my house

[ATSF3814]

This was quite a surprise find on Youtube. This wig wag signal used to protect a crossing that was only a few miles away from where I grew up. But when the branch line was upgraded for the Sprinter light rail service, this old signal was finally retired and sadly, I never got to see it in operation. But luckily, one person did manage to catch it coming to life:

I have at least two places on my route I can use them.
