@Random Video's my area had a death of the incandescent lights on the whole line (except in Missouri) and they were replaced by LEDs (GE uniform LEDs and RECO LED gate lights) and I watched the whole replacement with my own eyes (on one crossing, when I realized they were replaced I saw.). Had it's first run suddenly by a UP autorack (this is on a Northfolk Southern line) during the process. I was excited about it bc I love LEDs more than incandescent (I dislike the balled LEDs bc I'm more of a dotted and uniform lover)

Did you ask the signal maintainer if you could have the E-bell? Usually from what I know of, those bells aren't reused and are quickly disappearing.

Nothing is better than the mechanical bell. What blows my mind is if we can use recordings of mechanical bells in model railroading, why don't they do that on the prototypes?

I remember one of the lines in my town having almost full Lex C lights, even some on the triangular cantilever railroad crossings. All incandescents including the Lex C lights have been replaced with LEDs unfortunately.

Why does BNSF almost never use WCH electronic bells?? They make a faster, louder and more alarming noise than GS e-bells, which I believe is very important - in my opinion, those should be used at crossings where trains travel 60 mph or higher and GS bells should be reserved for crossings with trains that travel slower since the danger is lower.

GS made the Type 1 modal from 1992 to 2004, then Type 2 from 2004 to 2016. Type 3 is the current modal and probably will be for several more years. When bell manufacturers like GS begin making a new modal, they stop making the previous modal. GS tends to change modals every 12 years.
