Railroad Crossing Bell FAIL!!!!!

Let's just say that this bell is scratchy and CN should probably replace it. The railroad crossing bells are double Safetran Type 3's and seem to have gotten hit too hard on the head. This video was taken in Bartlett, IL on the CN Leithton Subdivison. More to come on the trains I saw there. Check back in a few weeks.

It sounds like this because the speaker driver, or the speaker amp, is blown.

You know what, this is the type of content I love to see on my feed.

Fantastic work

For the 100th time, Mr. Duck! You did not get the part! The bell is playing the railroad crossing!

[s_rv.]

it sounds like somebody bashed a fire alarm into it XD

I have one of those, and based on my research it has to have at least 1.3 amps of power or higher to get it to sound "normal", if mine is on 1 amp is sounds EXACTLY like that, so these ebells are very picky and consume more power then other ebells

If y’all want to torture someone, find this video and playback speed to 0.25.

The crossing is located on Spaulding Rd in Elgin IL

E-bells have always irritating me...but this...this is just torture. >_<

[VictorianRailHeritage]

There’s a crossing I’ve filmed that has the exact same bell and has the exact same fault as this one

Now crossings have asthma.... GREAT! :D

[DRrailfanning]

sounds like a buzzer + Safetran type 3 E-bell

[violettarose]

The Bell itself sounds like the Canadian Bell, but it sounds like it's not responding, with flat battery.

lol there's a crossing near where i live with the same bell. it seems to like "stutter" shortly after it starts ringing. ill link you to a video

[RunnerisNumber_UTTD]

I listened to that e-bell… and that thing was sick!

[JamontFrancis]

And that is why most railroad crossings are replaced with safetran bells because these bells are always dying like this lmao

[railsofchicagoandbeyond]

I know where this is. This is right near one of my friends houses. One of the bells is dead and the other is close to it. But, it's not that bad of a railfanning spot. Not the worst, not the best.

[Metrarailroad]

At Spaulding Those are the worst crossing bells I’ve heard

[michaelwalterselevatorsrob]

I found a bell with the exact same problem

[esko]

the national weather service has issued a tornado warning for houston county waukegan county and greenville at 4:00 pm (CDT

[CaptianNamco]

Ebell going bad sounds like some body put a fire alarm sound board in it
