A Sacramento Regional Transit Gold Line light rail train passing the Mather Field Rd railroad crossing with one car. I played a recording of the WCH Mechanical Bell on Meadowview Rd from my IPhone 6 and played it while recording this crossing since it has a Non functional Safetran Mechanical Bell. This is not the sound of a Safetran Bell. Safetran Mechanical Bells got a lower sounding tone then WCH Mechanical Bells.
