Seeing as the wire was intact, I wonder if the bell still worked?

Unless there was a short in the wire, I don't see why it wouldn't.

Classic signals. I think I've posted these here before as they look kind of familiar.

Found this signal in Maine which sticks out for some reason.
https://www.google.com.au/maps/@44.0986 ... 312!8i6656

It also has a WRRS Mini Bell!

This crossing down the line has WRRS/GRS Type B gate mechanisms.

All of those are on the site and used to have tons of lantern gate lights. The signal was made that way due to it originally having a wishbone gate.
They/Them for me, please.
