Maybe it is the bell.

I dont think its a bell, looks more like a light...

Pretty odd seeing U.S/Canadian style cantilevers.

Here's some interesting signals from Tacuarembo and Salto in Uruguay, South America

Interesting crossbuck/Mast setup in Tacuarembo, featuring a Teardrop bell:

Another Tacuarembo, Uruguay crossing featuring cantilevers:

Same crossing, but it was hard to get a better picture, but this is pretty unique right here:

That bell looks a lot like a McK&H Teardrop bell. Note the design of the rain shield.

One of those crossings in Chile that has canadian crossbucks in action.

Huh, I thought that all of those were removed.

I wonder why they have a standard Chilean crossbuck there as well.

Kind of interesting seeing Western Cullen Hayes E-bells on odd looking signals like these in Ecuador. Not sure if these signals are the standard in Ecuador as South American countries don't seem to have much standardization of crossing signals and signage.
