It's an ASC e-bell from the side the sound is projected out. This crossing is on the site.

I did not know that Union Pacific or any other class one railroad uses cab signals for crossings. I guess they did this because the crossing is on a spur?

That newer mast signal next to the relay box used to look like this:

Also notice in that older picture there used to be a mechanical bell on the signal on the main road. They removed that at put the E-bell on the new signal.

A bit odd:
