That approach from the other side looks scary (with that curve)... but it appears they have some sort of advanced warning signal. Wonder how it works in conjunction with the signals?

Also, something else of interest is that the Teardrop bells in Italy (at least at that crossing) were branded WABCO:

Though it does make sense considering the fact that WABCO was owned by US&S throughout most of its life, I believe.

Found this in Rockmart, GA:

No clue if it's still there though, as that maintainer might've been in the process of removing it when street view went through.

This crossing also appears to have a Teardrop, but I'm not certain because the imagery is from 2008:

Though the crossing is now out of service, so I doubt that the bell is there anymore.

I do believe that's the same crossing you posted above right here, just on the other side. :Tongue1:
