The only scary thing is that these bridges are quite old so the risk of them breaking down is a bit high

Yeah that’s true, but this bridge was rehabilitated in 1992, so there’s not much of a high risk, but yes I agree, since the bridge is old there is a greater chance of it breaking down, but hopefully that won’t happen

@flandox66593 жыл бұрын
WRRS 1203 bell, and if you’re also wondering about the bell you hear before the signals went off, I can’t remember the model name but it’s a WRRS motorized bell

time to update some things, not to mention those old signals and bell.

I think maybe instead of replacing the bridge signals completely maybe they could just refurbish the signals like them getting a new paint job and getting new hoods, as for the bridge itself I think they should also refurbish it maybe like they keep the design but they update the material

Going there for a trip. Plan on one of the days getting there around 8:30. You know if they do indeed go through at 9 or how they work. Thanks.

One bell kind of sounds like the one on the Sacramento tower bridge.

I think It was a WRRS 555 with a different gong, it's on the other side of the bridge. The rest of the bells are 1203 bells

Well good thing they even have the little gates on the sidewalk so that the stupid people that play on their phones and walk will not walk to far forward and get really badly hurt or killed from the bridge
