Re: Locations Of Current Known "ASC E-Bells"
It's been ages since I posted, but a few of the crossings on the Sacramento Light Rail line have them. I filmed there back in 2013 and I'll have to find the videos at some point.

Re: Locations Of Currently Known WRRS Mini-M-Bells
The next crossing east of there used to have a wigwag, but was replaced a few years ago with Safetran signals and a mechanical bell.

Re: Currently exsiting locations of awkward crossing install
It's not around anymore, but route 601 in Skillman, NJ used to have this weird signal that had lights in a strange position.

Post your crossing bell videos here if you own any
I made a video of both of my crossing bells, one is a WRRS mini bell I got on ebay, while the other is a regular WRRS bell I got from the NYSW railroad. It used to protect Ringwood Avenue, but that crossing was upgraded and I received the bell after that.

Re: Tracks out of service
Nah, the line had to close after that, because e-bells didn't become common until the early 2000's, and those signals look like they're about 10 years old
