Even after the FS takeover, WRRS cast 0222 bells were still being made. This is evident with my 0222 having WRRS markings but FS builder's sheet inside.

25th Ave to be grade seperated
Looks like 25th Ave in San Mateo will be grade separated in the future. This crossing is the last one on Caltrain with mechanical bells, the Safetran mechanical was replaced in the past couple years with a WCH mechanical. http://www.caltrain.com/about/MediaRelations/news/Construction_to_begin_on_25t...
