Update to Court Street in Calhoun, GA
There should be a legal limit as to how humid it can be on any given day during the summer here in the South...

Re: Update to Court Street in Calhoun, GA
That kinda stinks. At least the e-bell can be heard...Proud owner of a Safetran 3rd Gen M-Bell, a WCH 1st Gen M-Bell, a pair of MI 12x20” lights, A pair of Safetran-Hawker 12x24” lights, and a US&S/Wabco light.
Why does everyone copy my signature?
OG signal collection signature, I think.

No kidding. UP seems to use them too, as the new safetran signal at Leffingwell ave. in Kirkwood has one.

Wouldn’t be cool if Safetran/Siemens made a type 4? Type 3 housing with type 1 sound lol.

Re: Update to Court Street in Calhoun, GA
I think CN is the only Class I still installing modern Safetran e-bells now. And I'm not aware of many other railroads still installing them as well, outside of the NJT and maybe a few regionals or shortlines, so I'm not sure if Siemens will want to make a newer design of e-bell...Steven429 wrote:That stinks.
