Seems like it, although that's quite the expensive setup for a railfanner! :Blink:

Proud owner of a safetran mechanical bell and Griswold mechanical bell along with a pair of safetran 12x20 lights and a 8 inch light. Been a fan of trains since I was little. Main place I railfan on, The Sedalia Sub.

I don't know if this counts, but one railfanner actually owns one of these bells! Some of you have probably already have seen these videos. BTW, these videos are not mine! They belong to MobileRailSpotterRxR.



Proud owner of too many things.

GE B40-8W's are the best. Well, uh, maybe with some exceptions...?

That's a WCH E-Bell.

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.
Oh yeah to finally put that to bed on this thread. I know there's other means of communication we resorted to prior but for anyone who finds this, yes, he's right. The WCH E Bell was dead at one point and was either replaced but both sound off as of 2020:

No, I never visited that crossing. I was referring to the pair of ped crossings in Hoboken, NJ:
