Locations Of Currently Existing US&S TEARDROPS

Also, the rest of those shouldn't have been posted since they're now gone. Hence the thread title of "Locations of Currently Existing US&S TEARDROPS".

Sorry, I just thought that they were worth posting.

Do you know if they were made there, or if they were imported?

There is a Brazilian Company that manufactures Crossing Bells, Barriers, Lights and Gate Mechanisms. Some of the those products, such as the Bells, are made under liscence. At least that's what I gather from it.

I want to say I've seen that company's website, and they still advertise their Teardrop bell. It would certainly be interesting if it was still made.

The Company's name was Sinaf Brasil, but the website has been taken down. Now Sinaf is a Brazilian life-insurance company funny enough!
Here is their website captured on the Wayback Machine. https://web.archive.org/web/20161104155 ... sinaf.biz/

I know this has been posted in the past, but this Italian crossing appears to be being replaced soon, and the WABCO teardrops are approaching their end of life, as the bells are beginning to struggle with ringing and one already sounds dead.

Can be heard (and later seen) operating in this video:


And here's a pair of WABCO ones on Via Turi in Putignano, Italy with a pair of WABCO AL-70 gate mechs!

Sounds like they're a bit rough-sounding though...

Wasn't this type of setup made to accomadate an A-Frame Gate? It's pretty cool that it's still in service, Teardrop and all!

Yea. Sadly, from what I understand, the line doesn't see any use.

Yeah, some of the equipment appears to be in disrepair as well.
