Nice video and crossing! Glad to see a WCH mechanical bell still exists on your side.

Great vid and crossing bell on your side. Also great sounding horn, those 3rd gen K5HLs if I remember correctly started coming out in early 2009 and I didn't hear one in person until 2015 in Florida. Also, do Grandview Ave in Novato, CA when you have a chance. It still retains two Safetran type 1s

Beautiful train horn 😌👍. I’m surprised those WCH Mechanical Bells last a long time.
