2:53: Was it normal for Luxembourg railways to carry bells on their railcars and/or locomotives? Because that seems more like America than Europe. And regarding the type of bell, it seems to be the typical brass bell used on some vintage trams.
Hi, the bell you are hearing in the video isn’t coming from the railcar. It‘s the alarm bell of the railroad crossing, which can be activated manually. Some railcars like the Ex-CFL Z150 series (Z151 for example in Fond-de-Gras) or the CFL Henschel 1011/2011 did have one, respectively two bells from factory. This wasn‘t common for other locomotives/railcars of the CFL fleet as most of them only had normal horns (often low&high tone).
