The only 2 that I've seen is 1 on UP Sacramento's Sub and another on the BNSF Stockton Sub. I know there are a lot more on BNSF's line.

I have never heard a Safetran Type One In real life.. only those in TrainmanKnight's videos. I wouldn't hate E-Bells so much if Safetran would of never changed their sound.

Tommy, Brent:

There's still one on the CN at Watertown Road just north of Waukesha. I passed by there today and confirmed it is still there, as shown on the street view:

I heard a horn and though I was gonna get lucky (I had limited time to hang around waiting for trains) but it turned out to be on the CP at Duplainville, just to the north.

There was also the split-open carcass of a small deer lying by the relay box. It looked like a train got it. Fortunately it being winter it was frozen and there were no bugs.
