Re: Some flat sounding bells
Sounds like the "ding rate" significantly increased before the bell shut off.

Re: Some flat sounding bells
It appears to be due to the gate mechs as the other bell does the same thing. If you skip to 2:20 in the video, the bell is ringing rather fast before the gates start to lower.ToledoRailfan wrote:Sounds like the "ding rate" significantly increased before the bell shut off.
They/Them for me, please.

Re: Some flat sounding bells
One of these mechanical bells at this Dutch crossing is extremely flat.
Unrelated, but it appears this EBA E-bell has died, despite replacing another mechanical bell four years prior.

Recorded a flat-sounding Modern Industries bell in Springfield, FL yesterday. Will post the video when I'm back up in Huntsville next week.
This is the crossing for anyone curious:

Re: Some flat sounding bells
The yodalarm on the right side of the crossing sounds really sick, while the one on the left is dead.
This crossings yodalarms speakers are blown.
