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.

TPC doesn't exist, it's just an early griswold bell.

Another mechanical bell mounted on the side

I got a video of this one! The Safetran hybrid is basically dead.

Interestingly enough, at the time street view went through, there wasn't a Hybrid there, but a pair of WRRS bells, it appears.

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.
(Arkansas St. in Alexandria, Louisiana)

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

Here's a mast signal with two mechanical bells mounted on it.

Guessing the side-mount died and was replaced with the one on top.

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=en
