The southern signal.  I'm guessing the old one was knocked down and replaced with this one.  Otherwise, I have no idea why this newer signal exists alongside the old one on the north side.

The northern signal. At the time, this signal had all 12"x24" Safetran incandescents, a Safetran gate mechanism, RECO LEDs and a WCH Mechanical Bell.

In September 2017, we see a few changes occurred.  The lights on the northern signal were upgraded to LED.  Oddly though, they used 3 Leotek EV LEDs and 1 worn out Dialight LED, as seen in the 2nd video.
The DOT sign on the southern signal was moved up above the gate mechanism, and the grade was also resurfaced.

In October 2017, we see the one Dialight LED was replaced by a Leotek EV LED.  I don't know why the Dialight one was even installed in the first place.

January 2025 Update:
Sir Fluent here. This crossing has been upgraded with new signals. However, I wasn't able to get any close-ups of the equipment since it was nightime when I was out here... I do have one picture of it however.

This is the only known picture I have of this crossing. I am well aware that we had the car lights on for this, but I just didn't think clearly since it was dark out here. This appears to be a newer CSX setup with 4 - 12"x24" WCH Flatback w/ Leotek EV Series LEDs (for both signals), an NEG E-Bell, and 4" RECO LEDs. Also, if you look closely at the southern signal, one of the gate lights appears to be hanging.

NOVEMBER EDIT: Nicholas Miles came out to finish the crossing.
