Locations Of Currently Existing GE/Harmon Electronic Bells

Post by The BC Railfan » Sat Jun 16, 2018 12:50 am

This topic is to show currently existing GE/Harmon Electronic Bells. These bells look a lot like WC Hayes Electronic Bells, but instead of having 4 support stands on it, the GE has 2, and it can look like 1 by looking it on the side. It produces tones very close to a low/slow tone Safetran Type-3.

There's also one along Frontage Road in Plant City as well. Those didn't last long at all before CSX went to using NEG bells.
Crossing pictures from Plant City, FL are finally here! viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2538

There were two on NS in Eastern Pennsylvania
One was at PA-662 in Fleetwood, PA 2014-2018 when it got replaced by a GS E-Bell

One currently still exists here on Freeman Street in Robesonia, PA


Both crossings on Streetview show no point in time where they both have them.

One bell I believe on the NJT HBLR at Pacific Avenue crossing. I know it looks like a WCH bell on the other signal, but they don't sound like WCH E-Bells as Freebrick can verify for himself.

Those probably do produce their original tones. The ones you're thinking of are the dead ones at that one pair of pedestrian crossings at a station on that same line.
They/Them for me, please.

I was. I figured all would probably have been installed at the same time and therefore would produced similar or the same tones. Didn't realize those were dead honestly.
