BTW go look at my new post!!! I finally fully restored my Western Cullen Hayes railroad crossing Bell polishing the aluminum!! and it shines like a mirror!

They are kinda friendly though. Lol

​@@warningsystemsofohio1880No, the arms weren't being friendly-it was an earthquake that caused the problem. 😆😆😆😆😆😆

Q mi fa​@@warningsystemsofohio1880

A General Signals electronic bell.

No. It is a Safetran.

@@RailroadSignsandSignals I kinda figured by the looks of it! Good work 👍

WCH is on the opposite side

The mechanical one

69u79

It is a General Signals bell.

Was It A GS Type 1 E Bell

I am not quite sure.

@@RailroadSignsandSignals it's a GS type 2 (I recognize the sound of most Type 2's now a days so I know)

Most GS type 2s will sound like this if circumstances are right. So this GS Type 2 is basically a Type 3s smaller brother where as the Type 3 is the Type 2s bigger brother. (Please note: Type 3s are now manufactured by a company called Siemens, I do not condone getting one for small railways, more rather for bigger and actual crossings that get used.)

Yes I have.

​@@RailroadSignsandSignals gthghghD🔧🔧🔧

I did not bother filming them as it took 10 seconds to shift them back to their original position. I had to do other jobs before it got dark as well and so I did not spend time setting up a tripod for a 10 second clip.

@@RailroadSignsandSignals ahh ok

Yes, it was realigned.

@@RailroadSignsandSignals Good to know......THANX!

Yes.

It was actually trying to stay up.

If it was slipping it would be making a ratcheting sound. This time it was not engaging at all.

@@RailroadSignsandSignals there was anothe railway malfunction

I found people who have parts I am looking for.

@@RailroadSignsandSignals can you get newer railroad crossing gate mechanism or newer light?

I will use what equipment I can come across.

(Hold)

That was what I had at the time when the signals were installed.

@@RailroadSignsandSignals didn’t you have a whole bunch of other bells or something?

I have a few that need to be restored. I have shown every bell I have in my videos already. The others are going to different signals.

Yes, I can easily answer these questions. Q #1) what accomplishes the slow delay for the gates is either a slow drop relay or a solid state board in the crossing controller. The slow drop relays range from 2.75 to 4 seconds slow drop time and you can use two slow drop relays to double the delay time. Q #2) The crossing components use 12 volts. The voltage does not change for how many lights you have or gate mechanisms but the amperage matters. You will need at least 20 amps to run a whole crossing signal (including incandescent lights). (Just a suggestion) I would not attempt to wire up a crossing signal if you don’t know how electricity works as it can easily damage the components you are trying to power up, if it is used incorrectly.

@@RailroadSignsandSignals Thank you. I currently don't own a crossing or any components, but there is a railroad crossing replacement going on in my area. When it comes to that I'm gonna try to get at least the gate mech. Edit: if you want to see the crossing it is on my video called CSX 3125 manifest or something like that.

@@RailroadSignsandSignals what railroad company is that worker from

He is not part of any company. I am teaching him how to maintain the crossing signals.

@@RailroadSignsandSignals OK. you are totally awesome

It widely depends on what the issue is. A malfunction could be replacing a blown out gate light to having to replace a whole railroad crossing signal. It is usually easy to fix but time consuming to fix issues as finding the issue often takes longer than fixing the issue.

@@RailroadSignsandSignals Interesting, I never knew all of that.

That’s what my channel is for. Learning about railroad signals is my channels purpose.

@@RailroadSignsandSignals I'mma subscribe to your channel and hopefully you're posting new videos in order to get more subscribers.

More will definitely be happening soon.

Failed hold clear device.

​@@RailroadSignsandSignalsthanks

It is connected to the same relay as the lights. If the lights come on, so does the bell.

@@RailroadSignsandSignals what happened to the mechanical bell, just asking

On the other signal or the previous bell of the electronic bell?

@@RailroadSignsandSignals previous bell of the electronic bell

I removed it so it could be placed on another signal in the future.

You (the regular public) have no way of fixing a problem like this one as it requires to replace a specific part that has gone bad on the inside of the signal. It is always best to report a problem or emergency directly to the railroad associated with that crossing as seen on the blue info sign on the signal even if you think that you are able to fix it as chances are, the problem will reoccur after the next activation anyways.

The actual cause is still unknown until I check out the hold clear device coils. The electromagnet coils were not engaging with the steel plate so it was replaced with a new one.

Coils could have over heated

I know without a doubt that was the problem but I still have to make sure it wasn’t caused by another problem.
