Not sure about this one... Looks to be a Modern Industries, but worth a guess.

That's because that's actually a WCH bell...

Pure 1980s CSX install there though.

The bells were on their last legs in 2016 (The WABCO bell was dead while the Modern Industries bell was dying)

CSX has now fixed the bells.
