I think WCH still sells the motor-driven mechanical. It was in their catalog the last time I checked.

Hang on....yep. Motor-Drive Model #0555. I might see how much they want for one of those. For historical purposes.

It will probably cost you a pretty penny for one of those.

I'm pretty sure the Broadway St. #6 crossing in Green Bay is out of service. They do still switch the tracks seen in picture 5 on Broadway St. #7. I wish I could have caught them doing it but they never did while I was there.

There are two of these bells at the Highway 20 crossing in East Troy, Wisconsin.

Forgot about those! I just found out about them recently thanks to GSV. The METR is high on my list of places to check out next summer!

Found one! http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source= ... 16&iwloc=A

Video to come tomorrow or Monday. Don't get too excited, because they don't sound a whole lot different from ordinary mechanical bells.

Sorry guys, video is going to have to wait due to today and Sunday being a lot busier than expected. I only got partway done with one video from Saturday so far. A lot of editing to do from riding/railfanning the East Troy Electric, then fanning the CN and WSOR.

Finally got it done. The scene with the bells is from 1:30 to 2:01.
