These ones that get integrated at/near intersections with traffic signals do interest me. Personally, I still think separate red flashing light signals should be in place for additional warning, but whatever. I guess that's why I'm not a traffic engineer at the DOT. :D

A friend of mine saw the "upgraded" one over my shoulder as I was looking at it. Her term she used was "janky". LOL

Personally... traffic is more prone to stop for a red traffic light than they are for a crossing signal (as we all well know). So, I think having crossing signals in addition to traffic lights on a rarely used line is a bit of overkill... such as on the link you posted. The bell is good primarily for warning pedestrians.

I posted that here before, maybe not in this thread in particular though.

Well, I'd at least hope a fan railroad like that one would have a (McKenzie & Holland) teardrop bell! :LOL3:

Actually, that's the rare Westinghouse version! All Australian Teardrops made in the mid to late 1970's had that logo on them.
