Found these US&S Teardrops in Havana, Cuba.

These photos were taken from a video shot in 2011, however other videos on YouTube shot in recent years show the bells to be still in place. Knowing how well Cubans maintain there infrastructure, regardless of age, there is a high chance that these bells may still be active.

i know i wrote this but i just wanted to say that i hope this is still there because i love teardrop bells thankfully my regional shortline has about 15-20 railroad crossings that have teardrop bells!

The guy literally says it's a WCH bell in the description, and the WCH logo is plainly visible on the back of the "older" bell...

the latest satellite view from google earth pro is 3/31/2018 and it shows that it is most likely still there and that it may have even gotten a repaint!

snip showing the satellite view really is from 2018 so that freebrickproductions will believe me and want to go see it and get picture of it if i's still there for the site!

Again, it's still hard to tell. Unless your eyes can see that good...
