The faster ringing probably didn't help that..

Didn't sound all that bad to me.

(Also, check the note I made on the bottom of your post.)

Some rough-sounding WABCO Teardrops in Italy, the one closer to the camera sounds especially bad:

Edit #2: Holy cow, I didn't realize that the video was from this week! :Blink: I wonder if there's a preservationist maintainer on this line?!

There's a sort of rough sounding WRRS/WCH mechanical bell on a Griswold installation, although this video was recorded in early-2003 and the signals are long gone.

Cool to see a video of one of those B&O installs with the original EM gate mechs! Cantilevers and lights are likely GRS.

Kinda interesting to see footage of EM gates on the east coast, and on a CSX line nonetheless. Too bad they're gone, but it's good to see that those setups weren't limited to the west. :Tongue1:
