1) they use WCH light heads now instead of using Safetran light heads
2) they use NEG e-bells now instead of Safetran Type-3s
3) bells are now mounted at half-mast instead of on top

I am aware of that. However in some rare cases you may see Safetran Type 3's mounted half mast. I do have a post i believe somewhere in the thread that has a link to them.

If you're aware of that, then why did you ask "how so" when I pointed out that your example is not the newest way CSX does installs? :Confused:
