Metra #506 cabcar ride Part 2

Still going...we pass a railroad yard with a set of GP15-1 and C41-8 locomotives. Note the rare Associated Signal Company (ASC) electronic bell on top of the rare Griswold cantilever---I had never seen an ASC in person before, just seen pictures and heard about them. I was glad I got to see one! It was hard to hear the bell inside the cabcar, but from what I could hear, the sound was very similar to an early General Signals electronic bell, also known as a "Type 1."
