I went out today to get my picture for the photo of the month. The signals had a sick sounding E-bell which I caught with the movie feature on my camera.
Wait until the train passes and listen as the gates rise. You may have to turn your volume up just a bit.

That second one sounded more like a siren. 
Re: Sick E-Bell
One thing I didn't mention on my first post is that it was raining when I caught that video. Could it be water getting into the bell somehow causing that sound?

Re: Sick E-Bell
Could be. GS bells do weird things too when exposed to rain.

You think your car gets bad mileage? SP 4449 consumes 10 gallons of bunker oil and 100 gallons of water every mile.

BNSF has all their GS bells set to whisper-quiet around here. It's annoying you can't hear them for crap.
