I went out today to get my picture for the photo of the month. The signals had a sick sounding E-bell which I caught with the movie feature on my camera.
Wait until the train passes and listen as the gates rise. You may have to turn your volume up just a bit.

One thing I didn't mention on my first post is that it was raining when I caught that video. Could it be water getting into the bell somehow causing that sound?

Could be. GS bells do weird things too when exposed to rain.

BNSF has all their GS bells set to whisper-quiet around here. It's annoying you can't hear them for crap.
