Griswold mounted on the relay case. Note how there is a WRRS on one of the signals as well.

This one went missing.

Some wishbone gates as well...
The old DRGW line through the Tennessee Pass, by any chance?
They/Them for me, please.

Yes, it sure is. I hope I can get down there and get pictures from the very old signals on the line. The line is actually still active in Pueblo.

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

This crossing is weird. It's located under I-70 and it has a Safetran mechanical bell on the relay case. Questions anyone?

Sadly, because of construction, the signals were removed. Only the ENS signs remain, as well as the parts that hold the cantilever.

Here's a modern CSX signal with a side mounted e-bell and a normal mounted mechanical bell!

Nice find That's a RRS/Bryant zinc co! You should post it in the pre WRRS thread.

Are you sure? That looks like a standard WRRS side mount, the rest of the crossing equipment is WRRS. WRRS did make side-mounted bells.
