Looks more like a Safetran bell.

Might be original. Want to say BNSF used WCH mechanical bells prior to adopting e-bells.

It's on the site as well. AFAIK, that crossing has the only Griswold Type Bs in all of Alabama. Would love to get down there some day and record it.

Here it is in action on the other side, with a mixture of LEDs too!

Certainly an interesting set-up as well...

Holy cow, I had no idea Griswold lights existed that close to me!! Too bad there are none in Florida.

if there's one thing i noticed about the union pacific it's that it's really hard to find a crossing on tracks they own that's clean 8-inch equiptment but this crossing is still all 8-inch lights.

crossing with a weird cantilever install that was kind of point less actually!

How is that pointless? Would you rather distribution center not be protected period?

no but would't it be cheaper just to install a pair of mast lights on a pole than install a cantilever!
