Again bells have nothing to do with lights.
A MU car is exempt from having bells and sanders. a cab car is considered a locomotive, not an MU car.
as in :
PART 229--RAILROAD LOCOMOTIVE SAFETY STANDARDS--Table of Contents
Subpart A--General
Sec. 229.14 Non-MU control cab locomotives.
On each non-MU control cab locomotive, only those components added
to the passenger car that enable it to serve as a lead locomotive,
control the locomotive actually providing tractive power, and otherwise
control the movement of the train, are subject to this part.
for no sanders see:
TITLE 49--TRANSPORTATION
CHAPTER II--FEDERAL RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION
PART 229--RAILROAD LOCOMOTIVE SAFETY STANDARDS--Table of Contents
Subpart C--Safety Requirements
Sec. 229.131 Sanders.
Except for MU locomotives, each locomotive shall be equipped with
operable sanders that deposit sand on each rail in front of the first
power operated wheel set in the direction of movement.
Bell is required by operating rules for movement of locomotives.
