Albert Cameron Hunt (3 April 1857 – 2 October 1915) was an American electrician who invented the wigwag, a grade crossing signal used in transportation.[1] Hunt, a mechanical engineer from Southern California, invented the wigwag in the early 1900s because of the need for a safer railroad grade crossing. Hunt was associated with the Pacific Electric interurban streetcar railroad.[2]
Hunt was born in Freeport, Illinois, the son of Alexander Cameron Hunt, governor of the Territory of Colorado from 1867–69, and Ellen Kellogg. He died of neurosyphilis in 1915.[3][4]
