Did somebody try and seal this GS bell with tape?

(Look just before the top of the bell)

Looks like the top might not be all the way on to me.

Why is there a signal, next to this signal?

This might just be my guess, but since this a 2 track rail line, one signal could be for one track and the other signal could be for the other track

What's this guy up to?

Odd place to put a relay case.

No sir that is either a GRS or US&S base right there

How does this work?

It lights up to indicate not to turn on red. How else would it work?

Not the blankout sign, silly.

I'm just wondering, how are the lights mean't to work when there are crossbucks at the intersection and just a pair of lights mounted on the mast.
