This is also where that video of a car slamming into a train was filmed.

Wouldn't be surprised that the museum still has the bell somewhere.

The signals were repainted, and the teardrop was still there in September 2014
However, by January 2017, the teardrop had been replaced with a Safetran Type 3 E-bell.

Bummer. But like I said, I would be surprised if that railroad kept the bell somewhere, maybe to have it on display.

At least it still has the pair of 12x20 inch Lex-C lights! Wonder why they decided to replace it?

Maybe the teardrop died.
In the first video, it's hard to tell, but the teardrop tends to pause frequently, or maybe the railroad wanted to invest?
