Found this crossing in Hornbrook, CA. It has 2 teadrops... one on a mast signal and the other on the gated signal on the far side. The gated signals have triangle gates!

Here is 2 more, this time in Ashland, CA... again both signals with triangle gates.

There are 2 teardrops on this crossing, but the track seems to be out of service. Looks like the bells have been painted recently.

Here's a video of the crossing in action, taken by DirectorGuy13 on YouTube:
Sorry for the bump... but I thought this photo at this crossing was worth a share:

Just found this one in Opelika, AL. Sorry if it's been posted before. Wonder if it's still there?

It's been posted before, rather early on in this thread, IIRC. However, when I visited it last summer (July of 2015, IIRC), it was sadly replaced. :Sad:
It was the last know Teardrop in the state too...

I kind of figured... this is an NS line (I believe) so the chance of it still being there was slim.

Around here in Alabama, NS tends to leave the equipment on their lines alone, save for the ones in the central part of the state.
