Here's an out of service WRRS 1203 bell at Jefferson Street in La Grange, TX:

I doubt that these were made by WCH or WRRS, but they are motor bells.
Here's a few I found in and around the Miami area.

Here are the bells on the NW 27th Ave Drawbridge.

I don't know if they've been painted orange or it's the rust that gave them that color.
These are also the type with the rounded motor box.

Here's another one on Sunny Isles Boulevard, sadly this was removed.

This one is on the famous Venetian Way. These are in pretty good condition.

This one is further down the same road.https://www.google.com/maps/@25.7912565 ... 384!8i8192

This one isn't in Miami, but little north in Hallandale Beach.
Here you can see the back of the motor bell, alongside the WCH bell.

To wrap this up for tonight here's an odd find on the Snake Creek Drawbridge.
It appears to be an normal motor bell, but without a rainshield. All I know is that it was replaced by a WCH Bell probably in 2010.

None of these are motor or 1203. I don't know what the last one is but it looks similar to the one from gametrain productions video "Very rare abandond railroad crosing"
