Got some unfortunate news out of Orange County--all four US&S Teardrops which were in regular service have been replaced between June of 2014 and now. Both Nutwood and Fairview were overhauled and now use full Invensys / NEG systems, while Batavia got a 'targeted' bell replacement with the remainder of the crossing remaining.

Well that sucks.
I sure hope the one in Opelika, AL is still there when I go down there this year (hopefully).
They/Them for me, please.

Since none of those crossings are on the site, could you provide StreetView links please?

The streetview links for Nutwood and Batavia are in this thread, circa 2012. Fairview predates that.
