Here is a pretty cool railroad display with a caboose and passenger car along with a crossbuck at the Wheels of History Museum in Brimley, Michigan near the Bay Mills Reservation.

Those are Safetran S-85s, IIRC. Conrail was a huge fan of them.
Interesting bell mounts there. Surprised they are still hanging on as they don't look too sturdy:

Found some oldies at Elmhurst in Victoria, Australia. I believe these signals still remain in place today (although the line is out of service):

The other signal has a Safetran M-Bell on it:
