There used to be another down the line, but sadly it was removed.

That bell looks more like a regular wrrs mechanical bell mounted on a 5 inch adapter.
Proud owner of a safetran mechanical bell and Griswold mechanical bell along with a pair of safetran 12x20 lights and a 8 inch light. Been a fan of trains since I was little. Main place I railfan on, The Sedalia Sub.

It is. Bell is long-gone, anyways. (And the signal has since been wiped-out since Tommy shot those pictures.)
They/Them for me, please.

I went to this bell and put my gopro on a long pole and saw the rainshield, I can confirm that this is a WRRS bell. https://www.google.com/maps/@33.9894243 ... 312!8i6656

Bells go "ding". Lights go "flash". And the WCH Gate Mechanism at Kirkwood Road goes "chigRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr".

Looks like it has a 4 inch base to me.

Also, it's already on the site.

Hey, I remember a google map with rrs bell locations, and I remember a bell next to a jogging trail, it was side mounted n a relay case.
Its definitely in or south of Indianapolis and can go as far south as louisville. The most western and eastern point of the radius is wellington and st louis. Thanks! I'm currently scavenging on google maps and abandonedrails for this line and bell. Thanks!

Are you sure you're not thinking of this one in Atlanta, GA?

Yes! That's the one. So is it a WRRS? Sorry about the area, I only remembered that it was south of indianapolis
