Eastern Railroad Discussion > "Anatomy of a crossing bell" .....and P030Date: 05/24/15 07:55 "Anatomy of a crossing bell" .....and P030 Author: cinder Just thought you might like to see the "innerds" of an old electro-magnet crossing bell as it operates. That's eastbound P030 in the background at Mance, PA. Taken yesterday morning.

Date: 05/26/15 09:39 Re: "Anatomy of a crossing bell" .....and P030 Author: cinder The bell is powered by a 12v supply inside the adjacent "caboose". Of course it is not wired into a track circuit. A manual lightswitch turns it on and off.
