| INDOT pictures from the early 2000s showing a Conrail setup with 12"x24" lights and no bells. The northern signal had a Safetran gate mechanism while the southern had a WCH gate mechanism. Shortly after, both signals were replaced with new NS Safetran signals. Originally it had a GS Type 1, but later was replaced with a GS Type 2, then a GS Type 3. The southern signal also changed, but more on that below. |

| The southern signal. This got replaced many times. The original signal can be seen here, which appears to still be newer than the northern signal, then the very short lived 1st replacement is seen here, then another replacement is seen here. Both prior signals were destroyed in accidents with semis in 2019 and 2020. |
