Safetran Model 85
Safetran EM
RACO
RACO Hydraulic
RACO EM
Transport Products Corp. (older and newer)
WCH (logo styles 1, 2, 3, 3.5, and 4)
WRRS
WRRS/US&S (WABCO/US&S Model 75 predecessor, IIRC)
GRS Type D
GRS Type B

Griswold EM
WABCO Model 75
WABCO AL-70
US&S Model 75
US&S Model 95
Invensys Rail

I think that's about it for me? Kinda feel like I could be missing one though.
EDIT 3-12-23: Updated the above list, as I've since filmed the remaining gate mechs I hadn't seen yet, along with adding ones that I hadn't seen at the time of making the list, but since have and filmed, along with at least one I'd forgotten. Still not sure if there are any gate mechs I've seen but haven't filmed yet, or have otherwise forgotten about.
Also, AFAIK, there's no way to tell a Safetran S-20 from any of the other S-series Safetran gate mechs (S-5, S-40, and S-60, IIRC), at least externally.

I'm guessing you mean S-60?

It was a S-40 Because I got up close to it and it didnt squeak when the hold clear was engaged unlike the S-60. It wasn't loud either

Weird. Can't be too many of those in service, given the fact that the Class Is that used Invensys Rail gate mechs typically would've gone with the S-60s, at least in my experience.FresnoSubProductions wrote: Sat Mar 06, 2021 9:28 pm It was a S-40 Because I got up close to it and it didnt squeak when the hold clear was engaged unlike the S-60.
