What street is this?

Heres a crossing in Arlington, TX that still uses a teardrop bell.I live here,so I know that many Union Pacific trains ride on this line every day.Heres the link for the crossing.It wont take you to actual street view.So just place the street view man beside the tracks of that street on the bottom of the page.

That's a quiet zone now, plus the road has been widened to 4 lanes.
All new equipment.

Thats cool.The signals look better than before.

Yes, they do. Except that the teardrop is gone.

Thats true.Teardrop bells will always be better than E-bells.
