Bell only crossings

[freebrickproductions]

Bell only crossing at Higdon Road in Huntsville, AL on the NARM line. I'm not sure if the bell still works though:

Nice find!

Looks like they might have planned at one time for at least lights... since the mast on the other side is a standard mast (and not wooden or something simpler). I don't see any markings on either pole that would suggest there were lights on them at one time and then they were removed.

The signals actually had lights. I believe they were WRRS 8 inch incandescents. Here are some screenshots from street view before it was updated:

It appears that a visor was missing from one of the lights.

I contacted the NARM today about the bell. They say it no longer works.

Used to have signals at it at one point I'm sure. TP&W is known for it's corner-cutting abilities.

Two in St. Louis, MO, both on the UP line along the Mississippi. One was on Mott Street, can't remember the other one. Mott Street has two m-bells, the other a WCH e-bell, but used to have an m-bell.

That crossing was featured in this recent news report:

If you look at the background (http://youtu.be/WPK-4dC37Sc?t=2m6s) you can see people riding bikes on the tracks!

I was just searching through Google Street View in the Ann Arbor Michigan area and I came across this!

The neighboring crossing has a mechanical bell. I think it is made by WRRS but I'm not sure.

That's either a Griswold, RACO, or early Safetran bell.
