Yea, though if it were still in service, I'm betting a lot of that classic stuff would be gone, or it would rarely see trains.dan the ca railfan wrote:if it is it reallysucks!!!!!!!!!!! lot of classic equiptment on that line.

Re: Locations Of Currently Known WRRS Mini-M-Bells
Neither of those are mini-bells. The first is a WCH mechanical bell, and the second is a Modern Industries mechanical bell.dan the ca railfan wrote:florida st. memphis tennesse

Re: Locations Of Currently Known WRRS Mini-M-Bells
Noticed that GSV has been updated and sadly those mini bells have been removed. The two bells on the median signals were replaced with pole caps, while the third one was replaced by a GS e-bell.ToledoRailfan wrote:Norton Shores, Michigan.

Re: Locations Of Currently Known WRRS Mini-M-Bells
I wonder if that GS E-Bell might be this bell, until it was replaced sometime in late-2013 or 2014 with a WRRS bell.McK&H.Aust wrote:Noticed that GSV has been updated and sadly those mini bells have been removed.

There is also a video of the mini-bells in action, but the General Signals E-Bell is dead.

Re: Locations Of Currently Known WRRS Mini-M-Bells
Interesting find there, I think the most recent e-bell has a fresher paint job so they are probably not the same. Wonder if the crossing originally had four mini bells? It's interesting that they bothered to remove the bells on the median signals and install pole caps, rather than disconnecting and leaving them in place.NathanFromEngland wrote:I wonder if that GS E-Bell might be this bell, until it was replaced sometime in late-2013 or 2014 with a WRRS bell.McK&H.Aust wrote:Noticed that GSV has been updated and sadly those mini bells have been removed.

Re: Locations Of Currently Known WRRS Mini-M-Bells
Almost undoubtedly did. I believe Michigan required every signal at a crossing to have a bell.McK&H.Aust wrote:Interesting find there, I think the most recent e-bell has a fresher paint job so they are probably not the same.
