Pro tip: If you see a latch and/or hinges sticking out of the sides of the bell, it's not a WABCO bell.

(Also, the one above is a WCH bell.)

Pro tip #2: If the rain shield is attached to the back, it's likely a WABCO bell.

The bells were on their last legs in 2016 (The WABCO bell was dead while the Modern Industries bell was dying)

CSX has now fixed the bells.
Dead again, apparently:
