Spring Street, Hendersonville, NC https://goo.gl/maps/it7hKSRhboudcPo37
I think you meant "Henderson, NC"? Because Hendersonville NC doesn't have any WABCO mechanical bells.
I was doing something else where I was trying to find Madisonville but kept entering Madison. Now I'm trying to hard to remember -ville that I made the opposite mistake.
Also, it clearly wasn't the location in the link so how did you end up looking up Hendersonville?
I think he just knows that because he's been there.
I went to Hendersonville, NC recently and all what I could find in that area was the Blue Ridge Southern Railroad with railroad crossings that were installed by NS. And no, I didn't find a single WABCO mechanical bell in Hendersonville, NC, not even anywhere outside of it as well.
The bells are still here as of 2019, but sadly the US&S cantilever has been removed.

Well that's a shame. At least the rest of the crossing's still somewhat interesting.

Though I can't say I'm too surprised, seeing as it was a bit damaged.
They/Them for me, please.

Wouldn't surprise me if any of it rotted due to the elements. It had also been neglected for many years - why upgrade the mast lights but not the cantilever lights :Sneaky:

Thank you :> I find it just as annoying, however I don't think this line is abandoned. I'm gonna have to talk with a few acquaintances to find out.
This line isn't in the best of neighborhoods as you can tell, so I'm hesitant to check it out myself. XD

I got the set in Cary, NC in action now. Well, I got a video specifically on the entirety of the crossing itself. (Activation at 1:30)
