Both 8" signals have masts and gates apart from each other!

That's a rare sight today!

A close up of the other signal.
I don't know if the bell is WRRS or WCH, but I'm leaning more towards WRRS. It's the only bell at the crossing.
The relay case complete with a DOT number.

 

All signal parts belong to WCH or WRRS.

I've been told that the mechanical bell doesn't clang when it rings.

 

*UPDATE: I found out from an Anonymous source that the pedestrian gate in picture 3 is actually a retired semaphore signal unit which was recycled as a pedestrian crossing gate mechanism!
