Speaking of which, I found a new Florida Midland Railroad crossing installation with the bell mounted in an old fashion way

I've seen bells mounted on the case before... but not like they were just mounted with super glue. :Smile:

Almost looks like it used to be mounted to a pole... appears the adapter for that is still underneath the bell.

Re: mounting a bell up on the cantilevers, ...why would a bell need to be heard over a train anyway? If you can't hear a train roaring by, you sure won't be able to hear the bell.

Too much silly thought prelevant without including practicality....
Just the facts, ma'am.
