Re: Weird Bell Mounts
Not sure if the bell is a TPC one. IIRC, Kody told me that he's seen Griswolds with numbers cast on the rain shield.
They/Them for me, please.

Bells go "ding". Lights go "flash". And the WCH Gate Mechanism at Kirkwood Road goes "chigRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr".

Re: Weird Bell Mounts
Interestingly enough, at the time street view went through, there wasn't a Hybrid there, but a pair of WRRS bells, it appears.BNSF2184 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 23, 2020 11:13 amI got a video of this one!

Re: Weird Bell Mounts
I posted this in the "Existing teardrop bells" thread, but how this bell is mounted, I think it would also fit in this thread to.

The odd thing is that this teardrop bell is installed on the relay case instead of on the signal mount.

Re: Weird Bell Mounts
Here's a mast signal with two mechanical bells mounted on it.

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

Re: Weird Bell Mounts
Guessing the side-mount died and was replaced with the one on top.PlyingKibbles89 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 10:18 amHere's a mast signal with two mechanical bells mounted on it.

Re: Weird Bell Mounts
I'm going to bump this topic with more finds!
GS E-Bell mounted on the relay case. This crossing was actually really close to me, but RTD sadly had the crossing grade-separated.

I don't know why, but sometimes RTD mounts their Siemens E-Bells on the side like this.

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

This one went missing.

Off topic, but cool find not far away - someone preserved a piece of history. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.5089191 ... 1664?hl=enPlyingKibbles89 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 10:18 amHere's a mast signal with two mechanical bells mounted on it.
