xyz ave might have one us&s mechanical bell as well but no way to confirmit unless someone goes out there and checks literally as you can't see the back of the bell. no i'm not joking about the street's name.

Looks like a nice crossing right there as well:
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.295861, ... 312!8i6656

And two different ENS signs for two different railroads, I guess NS owned the line but ownership was transferred to Amtrak at some point:

Some 90s Conrail signals there as well, though the original 8 inch lights were replaced.

Alright, I'll be the odd guy out to say that I had no idea Amtrak actually owned trackage.
