*New E-Bell* 59th St. Railroad Crossing | SacRT Light Rail Trains, Sacramento Ca

Описание: May 14, 2025
The quiet GS Type 1 E-Bell on the northern signal here was finally replaced with SACRT using a General Signal Inc. Type 3 Electronic Bell as the replacement. I had a heads up that the bell here was replaced as the quiet type 1 wasn't ringing and they saw the maintainer replacing it with the GS Type 3 but it didn't ring right away, a typical situation I came across several times where a brand new GS Type 3 E-Bell didn't work right away for some reason but ended up working. Note, the GS Type 1s were not the original bells here as a WCH mechanical bell on the south signal and Safetran Mechanical Bell on the North signal were the original bells to these signals. SACRT still uses Siemens E-Bells as you see last year X St and Glenn Dr got some but it seems SACRT is pivoting back to GS Type 3 E-Bells as replacements as SACRT always has pivoted back to using GS E-Bells after using other types of bells that's why there is only 1 WCH E-Bell they use, used 3 or 4 US&S E-Bells, used 8 ASC E-Bells, and used 8 Siemens E-Bells but the system used several dozen of GS E-Bell and types.

I hope this is a start to SACRT replacing bad E-Bells like the broken one at Mills Park Dr, the tone loss quiet one at X St on the gated mast, tone loss quiet one on the gate-less signal at Broadway, tone loss quiet one at 2nd Ave gated mast, tone loss quiet one at T St, and the tone loss quiet one at Starfire Dr on the cantilever.

Sacramento Regional Transit light rail trains on the SACRT Gold Line pass through the 59th Street railroad crossing and arriving and departing the 59th Street Station in Sacramento, California.
