Heres a crossing in Arlington, TX that still uses a teardrop bell.I live here,so I know that many Union Pacific trains ride on this line every day.Heres the link for the crossing.It wont take you to actual street view.So just place the street view man beside the tracks of that street on the bottom of the page.

I speak my mind, if you don't like that oh well. I'll have you fill out a hurt feelings report and submit that to my office.
