Sorry for this massive bump, but it’s in fact an L.S. Brach MFG Co bell. There is another in the town and I believe they are the last active ones in existence.
Bells go "ding". Lights go "flash". And the WCH Gate Mechanism at Kirkwood Road goes "chigRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr".

The bell in question can be heard from 0:14 to 0:26 in the video.
Sounds like an RRS
I like trains, railroad crossings and garbage trucks.

The bell was already identified above. It's an LS Brach, though just simply a later one with an RRS gong.
They/Them for me, please.
