I posted about that crossing last year, rural areas of Northern California are a great spot to discover US&S teardrops or other old equipment considering UP think its too hot to replace the old classics.

Also, Street View shows they're still there as of December 2016, but the fate of the bells right now are currently unknown.

Want to say it had been known about before. Wonder if anyone ever managed to record it?
