Very nice. Of all the years I lived in Illinois I was only an hour away from this place. Mad at myself that I never got over there to ride the train or see their signals in action. :Sad:

Reason: Removed links of removed bells. This thread is for documenting Teardrops currently known to CURRENTLY exist at the time of the posting. Removed ones do not count.

Nice! If you watch closely... you can see the signal moving just a bit with the motion of the bell.

Turns out Alabama has a second Teardrop! If you look closely on top of the tank car, you can see it:

Slightly closer view:

Here's a video showing the Teardrop. Sadly, it doesn't work:

It probably has not worked ever since the lights were removed.

Heard was disconnected because people in some nearby offices were being disturbed by it. Used to have 8 inch lights.
