Montgomery Road, Norwood, Ohio:

Those have been gone for a few years now. Looks like GSV updated back in August so we can't even see them there

I have pics of the old signal that was on Dana Ave, but I elected not to photograph the ones mentioned on Montgomery Rd. What a stupid move. I think I was in a hurry or something...

This crossing in Courtland, AL appears to have one:

I'm not 100% sure if it's a motor bell, because of the low-quality of the shot, and I'm not even sure if it's there anymore because NS replaced a lot of the mechanical bells out that way sometime after 2008 with Safetran Type 3s.

I went out there today, and sadly, the bell was replaced. However, the replacement was another mechanical bell.

This is one of the WCH Motor Bells on the Walt Disney World. Heres is one at World Drive which is right in front of their yard for all the monorails and the steam trains in Magic Kingdom:

Here in this part of a video made in 2011, there is a visible view of one on the crossing by Adventureland:

This could be one

N Garvin St, Evansville Indiana

https://www.google.com/maps/@37.9781695 ... 312!8i6656

Is it just me or has the bell been turned around some time between the GSV images being taken? The first one was 2015, the second 2012.

Sure looks like one to me! And it looks like the bell has moved around

Agreed! Pretty evident here...

2012: https://www.google.com/maps/@37.978214, ... 312!8i6656

2015: https://www.google.com/maps/@37.978214, ... 312!8i6656

Also back in 2012 both signals had fairly weathered 1 track signs. Those were gone in 2015.

I guess the maintainer thought they also had to rotate the bell 45 degrees, as well as the gong, when the bell needed adjusting.
Thought it was most likely just rotated that way to make it louder over there.

Looks like Disney World has a motor bell at a crossing!

The signal it's on is also rather interesting looking as well.
