A combination of Safetran 12x24 lights, a US&S Teardrop bell and WRRS gate mechanisms, another signal has the same setup but with a wigwag and some black and white wooden gates. Back of wigwag also includes an unknown type of mechanical bell.

Another crossing that almost has the exact equipment but there are 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24's each signal and 2 US&S Teardrop Bells. The back of the wigwag shows an unknown type of mechanical bell.

The mechanical bell is a part of the wigwag mechanism.

Oh, i always thought the bell was two gongs inside its motor compartment.

The crossing was caught in action by tmbooks a couple of months ago.

It's been known about for a little while. Still always great to see again though.

Shame that the bell isn't doing too well

Here are some US&S teardrops from Italy.









There is also one in Greece!

Teardrop bells in Italy (and maybe some of those videos) have been posted here before, they're pretty interesting! I think they were made by or distributed by or whatever by WABCO.

I haven't seen those posted here before! Pretty cool seeing US&S Teardrops in Greece!

Here is the crossing on streetview, interesting how in one way these signals are very similar to American and Canadian signals while in another way they are kind of different.

Looks like these bells have a different distributor or manufacturer as well.
