QUOTE: Originally posted by Jackflash On newer locomotives the bell comes on automatically with the horn, after a crossing is passed the engineer has to turn the bell off manually, sometimes we forget because we cant hear it ourselves, if the cab is closed up with the a/c going, or another crossing is comming up real soon the engineer might just let keep ringing or there may have been MOW workers in the area. jackflash

QUOTE: Originally posted by wabash1 macguy Your answer is real close. the only part that i dont agree with is the horn. if the horn fails you swap out the engine. and the bell rule is one we dont go by on a regular basis. but you was so fast at answering the question. continue on with the rest of the bell rule . what if the bell is inoperative? ( dont work) what do you do then?
