Re: train and tornado

I was in Rochelle that day and my dad was a little mad we were there and not down there. :Grin: Oh well, he got over it.

Re: ASC White Topped E-bell in action!

UP owns the line that bell is on so I wouldn't think CN could mess with it. It's UP's property. Maybe UP will replace it with a WCH E bell, which I'd take any day over a GS Type 2, Safetran Type 3(GO BACK TO THE TYPE 1!!!!), or US&S E bell! Here's what GS's plant should look like :closed2: for life .

Favorite Electronic Bell

Let's start this one over again, even though most of us prefer m-bells. Like in the m-bell one, please tell me who you are if you voted so I know what you voted for. I like to see people's opinions. My favorite is the Safetran type 1.

Favorite Mechanical Bell

Well since the last forum is gone, let's start this poll all over now. My favorite when I started this in 2007 was WCH, but now it is Safetran so my vote is Safetran mechanical. Please tell me in your post who you are and which one you like.
