My first Bell; a US&S E-Bell!
I got the bell from the E Street Railroad Crossing in Encinitas, CA. When I was at the crossing, taking pictures, a worker was there, replacing the dead US&S E bell. I asked if I could have the non-working bell and he said yes. Later, he tested the new bell, a Safetran type 3. The Safetran type 3 didn't even work. He then told me that my bell might not be dead and might work. I haven't tested the bell yet as I don't have the correct power supply. If anyone who has a bell, link me to the power supply they use?

When did US&S go out of business?

They're technically still around, AFAIK. They were acquired by Ansaldo STS years ago, who've since been acquired by Hitachi Rail, and turned into Hitachi Rail STS.
They/Them for me, please.

I don't think these bells are still around as I couldn't find any info about this bell on hitachi rail's site.
