Dover Center Rd in Westlake OH has been replaced with what I’m guessing are GS type 3s. This means the teardrop in Marion OH is the last teardrop on a class 1 main line in the state

UPDATE: Hugo Rd in Margarettsville, NC was replaced by a GS type 2 last week.

I may have forgotten to mention it here but I do have a video of that one in action

Ok so for a second I got scared that these signals were completely removed, but it looks like they were just moved aside.
This was an old WRRS setup in Eskişehir, Turkey. Note the signal on the left hand side, other side of the tracks. The bell is still there.

I'm not sure if this has been added but there is a disconnected one in Altamont, Il it's the last on the CSX St. Louis Line.

One still exists at the Calle Fabrica (Industry Road) in Havana, Cuba.
I am told it still works, it just operates manually, as in when a crossing guard is on duty.

btw this is the only one at this crossing, the other side has a typical Russian flasher setup.

Well, as a collaboration between JosephTrains, Gametrain, TommyBNSF, several other railfans, and I, we have compiled every known US&S Teardrop location into one interactive map for easy viewing!
Across the map, we have marked-out 410 different Teardrop locations, which break-down as follows:

144 active locations
47 abandoned/OOS locations
196 former locations
23 displays

Check-out the map here!

Found this absolute gem of a crossing on Parker Creek Rd in Alturas, CA. All 8-inch lights, two teardrop bells, and two triangle gates.
