Here are some that I found. I will just put all the links for a particular state into one list starting off with California:

Also, I know of the two in Alabama and the one in Maryland but since they're so talked about and famous I don't see the need to post them here but will because why no?

Don't know if you knew this but when I made sure that I had the correct crossing on Juanita Street, I noticed it had a WRRS/WCH motor bell!
