Sadly, if this is true depending on the condition of those teardrop bells, they may no longer work.
already been known about for years
I didn't know about them. I also couldn't find any posts in the forum about them nor could I find a page in the site for them. One could say that all US&S Teardrop Bells are known. :Wink:

19th Avenue, Nashville TN has a US&S Teardrop bell. Last time I checked, it was still there.

*US&S

18th Avenue also still retains its 8 inch lights, though it also has a pair of US&S cantilevers. Wonder if CSX plans on replacing them at some point in the near future, or if the lights have rusted to the cantilevers...
They/Them for me, please.

I would have second-guessed US&S because of the bell, but then I saw it had a GRS base:

That's for the gate mast. :Tongue2: Here's the cantilever's base:

It would probably help to label that, then. "More views of the signal" doesn't tell me which signal in particular it's talking about, whether it'd be the mast or the cantilever.
