This railroad crossing has a Safetran Type 1 mechanical bell installed in the 1990s. It was deactivated in the mid-2000s when a General Signal Type 2 electronic bell was added. A few weeks ago, the mechanical bell was reactivated—hopefully by Norfolk Southern crews and not a foamer. I believe this is the only working mechanical bell on the North Carolina Railroad (NCRR) between Charlotte and Raleigh.
