Yet another interesting crossing from Facebook. Taken by Wayne Helms, this is on the FSR in Ft. Smith, Arkansas.

Please, tell me... how tired was the maintainer?

Re: does anybody know what this is

It's a grade crossing bell. So it could have been on any grade crossing in the Jacksonville, FL area. No cracks is always good. Those bells weren't as common (as I can make out) as the other bells available. So, it's quite valuable, but there's no way of knowing what crossing it came from unless you...

Re: does anybody know what this is

It's an original WRRS bell. They're very old design, and I haven't seen any except for a few decommissioned ones used on the Chicago drawbridges... one of which was in pieces.

Re: Fight that E-bell! Let it all out!

Only gate mechanism that I would even dare to put my latter on top of would be a GRS Type D.

My issue would be as to how you got up onto the gate mech. I know some of the Safetrans can be found low, but some railroads mount them to where the logo is as high as your face.

Re: Another siren crossing

I believe MOW would be the only equipment to have electronic sirens on them in addition to traditional horns and bells.

Cool looking crossing, hope they keep those lights and gates down there with them!
