Maybe not a graveyard, but a spare parts supply?

I'll take the GS bells. If they die, I can rebuild them.

Here are three more from scenic Central California:

Weber Ave, Stockton:

F Street, Galt:

This one from Lodi was a lucky find. My understainding is that this is a branch line which serves only one customer three times a week. It's a crossbuck only crossing that cuts through a T intersection where the traffic lights add additional "protection":

From the crossing in the first link... check out the ped signals... one light and a bell?

Going back to my find in Lodi, here's the same train occupying another crossing as viewed farther down the street along another side street.
