The "basket" GRRS wig-wag, and the upper-quadrant wig-wag, went for either $3000 or $3100 each. The double semaphore for $1900.
I didn't stick around for the 3rd wig-wag as it would have been hours at the auctioneer's pace to get through a couple barns; and he skipped over the crossing gate signal. The smaller semaphore and the tri-light block signal were at the back of the property and would have been auctioned last.
