The first one looks more like an McK&H Teardrop!
I wonder who the company who makes the teardrops are, it's not WABCO, and surely it can't be McKenzie and Holland. I wonder if they're Westinghouse?

A few more on the same line.

Odd modification.

This one was replaced with a WCH mechanical bell for some reason. The other replacements just consist of motorized mechanical bells.

Awesome!

The crossing wasn't signalized when Google Street View last went through:

That's why I abstained from pointing out this crossing until I knew I was 100% correct on it.

Knew that was CSX crossing right away because of the NEG bell :Sneaky: sadly it probably died or else the whole crossing would have been upgraded. :Sad: CSXT wouldn't usually just change out a bell for no reason
