Western Cullen Hayes Mechanical Bell 2nd Gen

The Western Cullen Hayes Mechanical Bell 2nd Gen is an updated mechanical bell, and the most popular mechanical bell used by railroads. This is also the only mechanical bell that is still being produced.

Overview
The 2nd Gen's body is almost the exact same, with the only visual difference being a stair-step base. The sound is also slightly higher in pitch. These bells are still pretty common, and are sometimes even used for new installations. These bells were commonly used by BNSF, UP, CSX, KCS, CN, and CP. NS also used these as an alternative to Safetran mechanical bells.

Rarity
As said above, this bell is still very common. Most railroad lines have at least one of these bells. These bells are disappearing from BNSF and UP lines, though.

Availability
These bells can be obtained through signal replacements, eBay, and even brand new through Western Cullen Hayes, as they still make them!
