No. All of the McMinnville wig-wags that P&W removed were donated. One of them resides at the Yaquina Pacific Railroad Museum in Toledo. One, possibly two, at the Oregon Zoo. Only one of the wig-wags up at auction were even of the lower quadrant style SP used; the basket-style wig-wag and the upper-quadrant wig-wag, to my knowledge, were never used in Oregon by anybody.

The 3rd Street wig-wag is unknown, since it was removed by SP crews shortly after the start of the W&P (since it was already scheduled and planned). I believe it might be the property of a certain in-the-know person.

The Dallas wig-wags, no idea, but my guess is high-up railroad employees.
