those are the railroad signals that swing back and forth when activated.

I know there used to be one at the south end of the UP (old SP) yard in Klamath Falls, Oregon, but I haven't made a trip there for quite a while. It protected a crossing referred to as K-LAD.
In addition, there was a wig wag protecting a crossing just north of Gold Run, California, on the UP (old SP) route on "the hill", which is the run between Roseville, Ca and Sparks Nevada. Haven't made a run there in over 20 years, so it may have gone the way of the dinosaurs as well
