For the past few months, I have dedicated myself to mapping out mechanical bells left in the US. It is nowhere near finished, but it is a significant start and I figured some people could find this helpful. If you have suggestions for what area/subdivision I should map next, let me know below.

The ones at Quietdale Drive in Huntsville and Jordan Road in Ryland are long-gone. The former was replaced last year while the latter was replaced earlier this year.
You also missed the ones in Madison and the one at Wall Triana Highway in Huntsville.

Are you gonna eventually add in crossings in Missouri like around Independence, Lee's Summit, etc in the future on that map of yours for mechanical bell crossings?

There's a Safetran M Bell at Gurler Road in DeKalb kind of near I88. There is also a WCH M Bell at Perry Road just north of DeKalb, IL.
