NEG E Bell that sounds like a WCH Type 2! 2/22/20

  • While out railfanning today, I caught the end of this stack train at County Road 1090 N. in Bryce, IL on the UP Villa Grove Sub. I only caught the end, as the train stopped for a few minutes after I caught it further north, and once I finally got around it, he started moving again.
    Once he cleared the crossing, I heard what I thought was a WCH E Bell, even though this crossing had 2 NEG bells. Sure enough, the one on the signal closest to me (the eastern signal) had an NEG bell was a WCH circuit board in it. Very odd to hear, but since NEG bells are one of my least favorite bells, I don't mind the change. I will try to come back for a full video later this year. I only saw one more train the rest of the day on the Villa Grove, and I was much further south by the time he came through.
    Filmed February 22, 2020.
    Camera used: Canon Vixia HF-R700.

    Wonder how a wch e bell sound chip got into that NEG e bell? Almost sounds like the bell at Warren st in Warrensburg MO except that e bell was a gs type 2 with a wch sound card. Still interesting nontheless.

      The logic board was probably faulty so they replaced it with a wch one, the sound chip probably needs microsording to replace and most people can't microsoider

    Nice, it has WCH sound chip in it, very rare and unusual

    Wow! That’s the first time I heard an NEG E-Bell sound like that!

  • @the_alex_ellis_channel6923

    Most likely the bell had a faulty sound chip, and put in a new one was cheaper than replacing the entire bell, even if the chip doesn't match.

      it has a WCH Type 2 speaker in it, idk if it was accidental, but very rare.

    Reminds me of Chuttlely’s videos in the Houston area’s railroad crossings.

  • @oliverandthemorrisons9667

    The fact the bell sounds scratchy, possibly means it has the board of an older wch bell that probably once stood at this crossing, but I’m not sure

    Why is the NEG e bell your least favorite bell? Because the WCH e bells are my least favorite.

    There is a WCH speaker in there, that’s why it sounds like a WCH e-bell.

    They must have wanted to put a WCH E-bell in but instead put in a NEG one and gave it a WCH chip for some reason
