Mobile has the most Hybrid bells out of any city here in Alabama due to the (little used) CN lines there. The next crossing over also has a hybrid bell:

NS even also has a crossing with a hybrid bell on a spur with little to no traffic:

Well it's on the same line as the other link in the tracks out of service thread, so I have my doubts that it's still there.

EDIT: Yep, gone.

Replaced a General Signals e-bell!

Which in turn, had replaced a WABCO bell (same for the other signal)!

Found one in Wall Lake, IA where a Wigwag used to stand.

In fact, here are the remains.

Wow, there were no records (even on Dan's Wigwag Site) of a wigwag existing there!

Last time I was at this very busy crossing on the Near North Side of Chicago, one of the bells was a Safetran hybrid. Canal Street sees commuter and some Amtrak trains pass through daily. But like so many things having to do with railroads it's nothing like what used to pass through there. Plus, it's been heavily developed recently. It's not quite the photographer's hotspot that it used to be.

Move forward a couple of feet and the crossing is active.
