Posted that one a while ago. I live about 60 miles south of Vancouver here in the States, so if I ever get my passport, I'll go try to see that one live.

Unfortuately, this recent video shows that it has gone dead :Cry1:
Good news! The Teardrop is working again, as per this video recorded earlier today by a YouTube user!

Sad news, as another railfan on YouTube just told me, this Teardrop is now gone: :Cry1:

Its also worth pointing out that the bell on the right was a WABCO mechanical bell back in 2011.
