Looks like it's still operational because that separate relay case was not there in 2007:

New Albany, IN
Although in tracing this line Southward from Bedford, IN... it sure feels like almost all of it is currently mothballed.

That bell is almost in the backyard of that house, it'd suck to live there. Although to be fair I wouldn't want to live there even without the bell and the crossing.

Not only that, but that appears to be an older house as well. Hopefully it's well-insulated to suppress some of the sound from that bell as well. :Eeeeek:

I can't image that house has a high value.

Looks like the area's undergoing an urban renewal though:

I noticed those while browsing the area. Wouldn't be surprised if those signals days are numbered based on the images that you shared of what looks like revitalization.

Good, that area does look like it needs to be gentrified! Also, $69,000 for that little shack?! :Blink:
