nice! Idk why but i like the scratchy start of wch bells like here example

[@freebrickproductions]

Thanks!

[@HunterWilliams-le9bk]

Great catch!

[@bryanschlippjr4894]

Thats a weird placement for the WCH E bell. It reminds me of what Grandville puts for the GS type 2 bell on a similar crossing in between the lights

[@freebrickproductions]

Overhead bell mounts like this are definitely not very common to find.

@ the bell placement on those old RACO cantilevers are due to the fact they were originally designed to be able to swing away from the roadway and allow for easy service. That lone signal along with another since knocked down are like this. There’s also a similar crossing down the road with a matching set of signals that have an identical design. If they aren’t moved to the gate mast, that’s where they stay.
