Electric flagman replaces traditional signals on Pacific Electric line
An electric flagman now operates about three hundred times daily to warn approaching trains. A loud gong sounds as a bright red disk waves by day and a red lamp shines at night. The device uses ruby-red lenses and incandescent lamps powered by a small motor, delivering a visible, timely signal superior to the old Stop Look Listen sign. Nearby, Fort Atkinson creamery reports a 25 percent drop in milk receipts due to heat and flies, suggesting simple fly control and shade could improve profits.
