The brackets for these lights are a bit unusual. There are two sets of brackets (meaning what's in between the lights and saying "Transport Products Corporation) instead of the usual one that's found on Today's modern signals.

Note 1: The bell only rings from startup to when the gates fully lower only.
Note 2: The gate rises so fast on the 12"x24" signal that when the gate fully rises, the signal shakes so hard that the bell vibrates along with the signal, producing some non-electrical related ringing.
Pictures 1-17 were taken on July 21, 2009.

Something a bit different than the July 21 activation, when the gates went back up, the bell did not ring again due to the heavy vibration of the gate rising too fast. Instead it clicked a few times, and that was all.

Taken on November 4, 2010 by TrainmanKight, the 8" backgrounds have some bullet holes through them for some odd reason...
