Yes, WRRS made side-mounted bells.
That is a RRS/B zinc because it has a smaller bracket on the door. WRRS versions have a wider one for different mast sizes. https://www.google.com/maps/@33.9893909 ... 384!8i8192

91st St, Bergen NJ. CSX line.
Think that may have been something the CNJ liked to do, at least for their Teardrops. Obviously CSX just simply chose to re-use the mount for their NEG e-bell that they replaced the previous one with.
They/Them for me, please.

Likely, those signals did not have bells originally. Still, nice finds!
