We seem to have a fair amount of Train 🚆 Bell 🔔 Derangement Syndrome! thanks 🚩

[@cats0182]

That bell at the start sounds like something on a circus clown car.

[@oct197.]

it turns off at 3:39

[@Narpets2112]

Those are extremely irritating to me.

[@davidberlant5096]

Thank goodness for the mute button!

[@dasoffendor]

looked like a pretty hard stop at LaGrange...

[@billyhunter2161]

I finally found a Metra video where the bell is not constantly ringing. It was great!

[@oct197.]

what's the link?

[@keyshawnscott12]

For everyone wondering why the 🔔 is always going off well some metra lines are in a no horn zone meaning the driver cant use the horn all the time

[@samlbrown6665]

What's with that bell ringing non stop the entire trip ? Can you imagine riding in the front half of that car every morning ? That's insane !

[@oct197.]

@@samlbrown6665 There's lots of crossings... and it's all quiet zones. It might also depend on the engineer.

I actually find the bell relaxing while watching the ride, although it's weird for me that it has to be used on crossings with gates and lights. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Germany.

[@oct197.]

Since they can't use horns on this line, the bell is the best bet at crossings so people can hear it. Nice to see someone from another country!

Thanks for uploading

Yoooo, this is amazing bro

[@ncard00]

No, cause the video quality is only 1080p, should be 8K60fps.

[@leereeder2293]

Always liked ATC even if the area east is a little rough

[@jessicanelson3355]

Trains are the best

[@ManiacRacing]

Yeah, not watching an hour of that bell.

[@oct197.]

tell the engineer to turn it off

[@keyshawnscott12]

That bell is perfect

[@snickers100dg]

Watched the video with the sound muted. Could there be a reason for the constant bell?

[@oct197.]

Lots of crossings and no horn zones means constant bell. It is what it is

[@jenniferpesquera648]

The bell is the worst sound

[@oct197.]

gotta use it on a busy line with a lot of crossings

[@davidmontville4885]

@@oct197. Many Metra lines have as many or more crossings, and no bell except crossings and stations
