Yea, it's just an MI or US&S bell that has a 4 inch base. Since it's mounted on a gated signal with a 5 inch mast, it has to have a 5 inch adapter.
Also, Harmon gate mechs there too!
why do you always put an exclamation point at the end of sentence when pointing out harmon mechanisms? what is so special about them?
They aren't very common, it seems.
well that makes sense also i just uploaded what i believe to be all the em gates in the l.a area in the em gates thread that i think i remember and found though i will probably find more go check them out!

google maps streetview caught some em gates in action!
This crossing has four bells at it, two General Signals Type 1s and what appears to be a pair of US&S mechanical bells, with only two signals! https://www.google.com/maps/@31.2326322 ... 312!8i6656
And according to the video below, all four bells still work!
