Yep! There's quite a variety! Following down that line there are also a few WCH 333 Mechanical Bells! Adelaide is quite bare with only 3 types of E-Bells, The GS Bells, WCH Bells and the Safetran Bells

Since the railway crossing removal projects these are disappearing and I don't miss it because road traffic moves a lot smoother and quicker.

I believe Westinghouse Break & Signal were the primary provider of singling equipment overall on the network in the 1970s, 1980s and maybe into the 1990s! They were apparently also responsible for the signalling, platform screen doors and automatic train control systems on the first two lines opened in the Singapore metro system! :)

20:43 I also believe these bells used to also be used on the Blackburn road and Middleborough road level crossings before the crossings were removed! However they replaced the mechanical bells on the Blackburn road crossing with electronic alarms in 2011-2013 by what I can remember! :)

To my knowlege all mechanical bells have been removed from the Northern Territory on National Railways (North Australian line ect.) Last crossing to have a WCH gen one where all the crossings within the Alice Springs area while the WCH gen 2 was removed alongside the grade seperation of the Stuart Highway from the Central Australia line in 2014 or something. Tho I am hoping that the old locomotive at the Road and Transport hall of fame can move and they also can get the reqired funds to make a loop kinda like the Pichi Richi. So a new level crossing would be cool Ngl
