Why?

Post by freebrickproductions » Tue Sep 10, 2013 9:07 pm

This thread is for posting the crossing signal installations that make you scratch your head and go "Hmmm..." Odd bell placements and odd light configurations can go here as well.

I'll get us started.

It's kind of hard to tell, but is it mounted on the side of the relay case? It makes me wonder if there is some audible advantage to it being there.

Yep, both bells are mounted on their respective relay cases.
