It a US&S Teardrop bell. That crossing will be on the site soon as I've taken photographs of the crossing and I've made a page for it.

US&S stands for Union Switch & Signal, fyi.

US&S also manufactured pistols for use in World War II, as well.

There are some old cantilevers on South Street in Lafayette, IN where they both still have teardrop bells.

Here's a video with them in action:

Moved your post to the correct thread. The McK&H/Westinghouse Teardrop thread is for the Teardrops that are found in Australia.

Also, here's one at 8th Street and Calgary, Alberta:

Google caught the crossing in action also... along with the no left turn signs on the traffic signal near the crossing: https://www.google.com/maps/@51.043314, ... 312!8i6656

Also, check out the relay case for the traffic lights.
