Looks like an us&s electronic bell to me.
Proud owner of 7 mechanical bells along with a pair of safetran 12x20 lights and a 8 inch light. Been a fan of trains since I was little. Main place I railfan on, The Sedalia Sub.

Never seen one like that. GS base, US&S? Body, and a ??????? Cap.
Possibly a prototype US&S e bell???? Or just some bell with swapped out parts. We will never know.
Bells go "ding". Lights go "flash". And the WCH Gate Mechanism at Kirkwood Road goes "chigRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr".

Kinda looks like an ASC-GS-US&S hybrid. My best guess is that it was originally a GS type 1, and then the top parts broke off somehow, then they put a reused us&s bell with a makeshift cap.

It almost looks like a prototype GS Type 1 by looking at the color of it.
Just a railfan who likes railroad crossings as much as you.
