I cannot thank you enough for finding this! I've been looking for this signal for ages now, I believe it once belonged to the Ponce & Guayama Railroad Co.ToledoRailfan wrote:Vintage crossing signal with WCH/WRRS Mechanical motor driven bell on display at the Bacardi Distillery in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

IIRC, all of Puero Rico's lines were torn up decades ago. Many of their signals used motor-bells and 8 inch lights.NathanFromEngland wrote:How come?freebrickproductions wrote:Shame Puerto Rico has no more active railroads...

Mostly due to most railroads after 50s were just individual rail lines for specific industries. There was Port of Ponce Railroad which ceased to exist in 2010, it was just a small terminal railroad for transporting cargo to and off ships. It was pretty much just a rail yard. There was also the Tren del Sur (Train of the South) which was a tourist railroad that ceased operations in 2005, there are proposals to revive the railroad. The Tren del Sur is where there is a crossbuck in Spanish which I think I posted here a while ago!freebrickproductions wrote:IIRC, all of Puero Rico's lines were torn up decades ago.

Both crossings still work, but not sure for how much longer...
