That's definitely the most unique crossing bell I've ever seen! I once saw a GS bell that sounded very fast but I've never seen something this unique!

I know its the weirdest crossing I've ever seen. I think I know which video you're talking about as well.

Great catch! That bell rings faster then the 24th Street Railroad Crossing in Ybor City, Florida.

Nice catch. I love the old gate mechs and the 8 inch lights. That is the slowest gate I've ever seen. It would be funny if that crossing was right near a school!

The sound of a series of bells! High volume! This is a great railway crossing. It is a slow movement of the left side of the boom barrier, Smile :)

Great video! Probably one of the most ridiculous bells for a crossing, but I love it! 😂

David, I checked out at this crossing, and I found out that everything at this crossing is still there! I am going to try to get it in action.

Never ever play this at 3 AM.

I think I know the reason why the lights start/stop flashing before the gates lower/rise. The gate mechs could actually be aftermarket conversions of gateless signals, hence why the lights come on and turn off before the gates lower/rise.

Fuckin fire alarm as a railroad crossing bell wtf

Nothing is fixed here except the far signal is tilted

It's just a vibrating bell like what you find at schools and banks and old-school fire alarms. It was just used on a crossing for some reason.
