Well, I mean, they're pretty much the same bell (save for the logo on the back), so...flat train wrote: ↑Fri Dec 06, 2019 7:29 pmMaybe you could look at the lights and base on google maps.

Re: Known existing US&S and MI mechanical bells
Found this bell on the same KCS line I found those GE e bells on. This crossing is located in Bronaugh, MO.

This crossing also has a pair of rare WRRS gate mechanisms too!

Re: Known existing US&S and MI mechanical bells
Go to Rxrsignals.com and click on signal pictures. Once you get click it, you should be on the signals page. Then click on the section that says California. It's on the second row underneath the Alabama section next to the Colorado section.flat train wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2019 2:34 pmThanks!

Is this the bell you talking about? It kinda looks like a wrrs mechanical bell. Crossing appears to be a wrrs installation mixed with an older safetran installation.

Re: Known existing US&S and MI mechanical bells
I’ve been there and the bell is a modern industries bell, but I don’t know if that’s the crossing that’s there now in google maps since the mobile app doesn’t show when the picture was taken. The current crossing replaced the previous one around June 2019 after the previous one was “crushed to death” in an “incident”Nascar Fan007 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 9:33 amhttps://www.google.com/maps/@41.1662879 ... 312!8i6656

The crossing's actually on the site. However, by the time Tommy got out there in 2016, the WRRS signal had been upgraded a fair amount:

Wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that the replacement signal (that was installed due to the derailment destroying the old one) has an MI bell on it.
They/Them for me, please.
