yeah the "no left turn" signals are still being made I looked it up on WCH's website Also call me old fashioned but I prefer the old 12" gong/bells than the electronic ones
All of the crossings i filmed at are on the Riverfront Loop, which runs right along the Mississippi river. The first two crossings in this video are right by The Pyramid.
Yeah, I noticed after the fact that it was one of those things on the guide wire of the power pole in front of the view of the bell. Sort of made it look like a WABCO M bell. My mistake. Cool videos. Thanks for sharing.
I remember seeing these trolleys now when I visited Memphis a couple years back when my dad and I took a crosscountry roadtrip from California to New York and back again...What a Surprise!
U've earned a favorite from me man,Thanx for Sharin Dude;-)!!!!AWESOME
Based on the lack of passengers in every trolley we observed on this video, MATA seems to be headed toward bankruptcy.

The trolleys do not seem to be very full, did you tape this during a non-peak period?

The third trolley (at 2:30min) was bought in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) but after having been restored by MATA it became completely unrecognizable.

How come the bell on the closest cantilever of the first video looks like a WABCO mechanical bell. Do you have pictures of this crossing?

No, i don't. It was just a GS Type 2.
