Witnessed those same sights, well, not in Leeuwarden, but in Baarn & Soest instead in the '60s & '70s. Not much has changed other the trains were green then, & blue (snel trein), and there were less automobiles on the roads. And (as mentioned), yes, the warning bells were mechanical then. Ding ding ding ding...
Wow, Dutch trains can move back and forth real fast. :)

It looks like the autobahn is in the background with the cars going seemingly fast

Yeah it's pretty cool, I prefer the old bells though. They replaced it with electronic bells...

I don't know how american mechanical bells sounded, but ours were good in their 'rhythm' (god I always forget how to spell that word)
